The route is the goal!
Strong purple from many millions of blossoms, interrupted by the lush green of the juniper and pine trees and the silvery white of the birches color the entire region.
The heather blossom is the absolute highlight of the year in the Lüneburg Heath. Anyone who has smelled the scent of honey, witnessed a sunset on the Wilseder Berg and hiked through the expanse of heathland knows what this region has to offer.
Vacationers especially love the vastness of the heath, because the various heath areas, especially in the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve, are so large that you can only see heath as far as the horizon. Since the region is very flat, you have a great view over the blooming heathland from the smallest elevation.

The entry into the heath via Niederhaverbeck is very nice and not as crowded as in Wilsede. It starts directly behind the parking lot (subject to a fee). To the west along the edge of the forest, past the prince's grave, you can also easily reach the Wilseder Berg. Then back down the east flank and back through the sea of flowers. Was unforgettable.
