Shepherd Thomas Rebre's Heidschnucke herd can be found in the Amelinghausen heathland region. Don't be surprised: Goats can also be seen among the Heidschnucke sheep. They support the sheep, as goats are even more active in chewing pioneer trees, such as birch and pine.

Throughout the year, Shepherd Rebre and his herd move from one heathland in the area to the next. Those who keep their eyes and ears open in the Amelinghausen heathland region might, with a little luck, see and, above all, hear the Heidschnucke sheep in the landscape.

Here you can still feel a touch of romance, however, the Heidschnucken are used for landscape conservation. But without funding this would not be possible. So this herd allows the care of the Oldendorf dead place, the Kronsbergheide and the Marxian paradise.

You prefer to hike the Kronsbergheide, but you can also cycle to the sheep farm.
