The Heidschnucken herding is always a fantastic spectacle. If you'd like to experience something like this, the best place to do it is here at the sheepfold.
The Heidschnucken herding takes place daily at 10:30 a.m. from the Höpen Heath Kiosk sheepfold, and the herding takes place around 5:00 p.m. (although the latter can vary). This applies roughly from Easter until October 20th of this year.
You might also encounter Heidschnucken along the way, but it's not certain where, as the shepherds always take a different route so the sheep can do their work.
