Brunsberg Nature Reserve

The approximately 50 hectares of forest between
Brunsberg and Sprötzer Heide, south of the city
Buchholz in the Nordheide - is called “Spröt‐
zer lead ”. Fuhre is the Low German term for
Jaw.

The Brunsberg, with its approx. 65 hectares, has been designated as a nature reserve since 1954, making it the second oldest protected area in the Harburg district. Extensive sandy heaths characterize the steep slopes and the partially deeply cut valleys of the Brunsberg. Crowberries can be found here and there, and in wetter places you can also find bell heather, which otherwise prefers moors. Blueberries are also found in the heaths throughout the area, complementing the range of species in these dwarf shrub heaths.

A beautiful light forest with many birches and new oaks! A bank for a break is also available.
