Cycling

The small town of Volkwardingen with its old courtyards and tall oaks is located between meadows and forests directly on the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve and is an ideal starting point for excursions into the heath. Whether on foot, by bike or by carriage, you can discover all the sights in the car-free nature reserve from here. Wide meadows and fields, shady forests, moors and heathlands provide variety in intact nature and each season has its own special charm.
