View of Totengrund

The landscape here in Totengrund has its own unique charm in every season. Many visitors especially like to come in August, when a sea of purple flowers covers the entire landscape. Personally, I like this quiet place best in autumn and winter, when fog or frost makes the expansive nature sparkle. You feel like you are in the middle of a watercolor painting.

So now during the heather bloom you are almost trampled to death at normal times of the day ...
But if you get the ar ... up early and are there at sunrise, with a little luck you will be rewarded with great impressions! (Says my better half who needs to know ;-))

As early as 1906, the heath pastor Wilhelm Bode saved the Totengrund from planned construction measures and thus sealed the creation of the first nature reserve in Germany. In 1921 the heathland was put under nature protection. Today the Totengrund is one of the most beautiful and most visited heath areas in the entire Lüneburg Heath.
