    The Fischbek Heath is a very popular day trip destination for Hamburg residents. This nature reserve and former forest area lies south of the Hanseatic city. When the heather blooms in late summer, the landscape glows as if covered in a purple carpet. If you keep your eyes and ears open, you'll discover the immense diversity of species and plants in this area.

        With about 770 ha, the NSG Fischbeker Heide is the third largest nature reserve in Hamburg.

        "The typical extensive heathland with scattered trees is not original." It was created by human use Starting from the Stone Age and reaching its peak in the Middle Ages, the destruction of the original oak birch forests was carried out by clearing and grazing.The spreading heather was in Discarded heath land was used as stable litter and after barn cleaning as fertilizer for the fields.Each sheep and goat farming and beekeeping were important sources of income.These forms of use led to a constantly rejuvenating heather and to a decimation of tree growth.

        In the Fischbeker heath, pine trees and birches have proliferated in contrast to the juniper of the LĂŒneburg Heath. "
