In addition to the great heathland there is a Heidschnuckenstall and a Heidschnuckenherde to see.

This is one of the three heathlands near Amelinghausen. With the Heidschnuckenstall something special, especially at lamb time. The real pasture area is Bergen. It may well be that you do not see them from May to fall. Very important, this herd has herding dogs. Please do it with respect and caution.

Anyone visiting Kronsbergheide should first know that the heather queen of Amelinghausen has been officially elected here since 1950 and that it is therefore a historical place for the Amelinghausen community.

Beautiful heathland with good views, a sheepfold and small paths that lead through the heath. Not too big and easy to reach from the parking lot for pediatric patients.

Kronsbergheide, which is rather small in terms of area, is located directly on the B 209, at the entrance to Amelinghausen, coming from Lüneburg. It is therefore almost opposite the Lopausee and can therefore be easily combined with a tour of the lake.

Anyone who visits the Kronsbergheide should first know that the Heath Queen of Amelinghausen has been officially elected here since 1950 and it is therefore a historic site for the Amelinghausen municipality.
In addition to the coronation in August, hikers are particularly interested in the beautiful landscape that spreads out around the heathland. The Heidschnuckenstall, the winter quarters of the Heidschnucken from Amelinghausen, is also located here.

There is a covered rest area at the Heidschnuckenstall. If there wasn't a green sign nearby with the inscription "Prehistoric burial mound", it would not be recognizable. Unfortunately, nothing more can be learned about it. Only a pile of stones with boulders gives an indirect hint.

Otherwise, this is also a nice resting place with a view over the Kronsbergheide.

The heather is always beautiful. Even without flowers.

different times, the beginning is almost never the same. This ensures that you can find blooming heather as early as the end of July and the last blossoms can sometimes still be seen in October.
The heath areas are all named, e.g. Misselhorner Heide, or Ellerndorfer Wacholder-Heide. They are all part of the Lüneburg Heath and thus make orientation easier.
The heather plant that is primarily found in the Lüneburg Heath and characterizes its landscape is the common heather - "Calluna vulgaris". It is also often referred to as heather. The bell heather (Erica tetralix) usually flowers a short time before the common heather and prefers swampy areas such as raised bogs.
