Tips

August 2, 2023

The 40-hectare "Barger Heide" lies to the east on the edge of the Schwinge valley.

The Ice Age influence on the area can still be seen today in the undulating terrain. The historically created heath landscape with small areas of special biotopes, such as open sand areas and sandy dry and nutrient-poor grassland, determine the image of the "Barger Heide". The diversity of species in the area can be seen e.g. in a rich insect fauna. Special plant species are the heather pink (Dianthus deltoides), the gorse (Genista pilosa) and the English broom (Genista anglica).

A small piece of heathland in the Stade area. It is cared for by the typical keepers - the Heidschnucken.
The landscape is of course particularly beautiful when the heath is in bloom, but it is also a feast for the eyes at any other time of the year.

A highlight in the southern area of Stade. Park your car and criss-cross the paths through the heath. In the summer there are sheep/goats on the wide open spaces.
A detour to the Schwingewiesen is well worth it.
