The Weseler Heide offers everything a heath hiker could wish for. Sheepfolds, bee fences and wide views over the countryside.

When the common heather (Calluna vulgaris) blooms here in August and September, the eye is presented with an almost endless purple-pink splendour. The beekeepers have filled the bee fences with their baskets and boxes and the coveted heather honey is being collected by the busy bees. When the heather "honeys" the air is literally filled with the sweet scent of nectar.

Lüneburg Heath

"The" heath doesn't really exist. Although the Lüneburg Heath has the largest contiguous heath areas in Europe, these are more of individual, large areas that are spread over the entire width of the Lüneburg Heath. An exception is the large Lüneburg Heath nature reserve with its huge heath areas.

Due to the different locations, sometimes on a slope, sometimes on the south side, the heath areas bloom at different times, and 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 just "Weseler 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 blooms a short time before the common heather and prefers swampy areas such as raised bogs.

The Wesel Heath offers short trails and plenty of rest stops. This means you don't necessarily have to venture into the vast Lüneburg Heath, where you can still admire nature and the heather blooms.
