    The Schäferhof Neunkirchen is located south of Neuenkirchen in the Riensheide. A beautiful collection of old buildings. In the summer also with sales of own products.

    The idyllic shepherd's farm was built according to a historical model, with a large sheepfold for the typical heathland sheep - the Heidschnucke.

    The flock of sheep is usually driven to the farm around 5:30 p.m. from May to October.

    Around 5:30 p.m., shepherd Franz and his dogs herd the Heidschnucke sheep back home. It's a wonderful sight when the flock arrives at the farm and crowds into the pen and the barn. The farm shop at the Schäferhof (Shepherd's Farm) opens at 5:00 p.m. There you can purchase Heidschnucke products, other regional goods, and typical heathland souvenirs.

    The Schäferhof Neuenkirchen e.V. (Neuenkirchen Heathland Sheep Farm Association) was founded in 1976 by local residents, the municipality, and the tourism association to cultivate and preserve the natural interrelationship between the heath and the Heidschnucke sheep, the "Lüneburg Heath."
