Wilseder Berg

A visit to the Wilseder Berg is part of every visit to the Lüneburg Heath. The ascent is not that difficult and yet you are rewarded with a wonderful view. The Heidschnuckenweg also passes here.

The panoramic view really worth it. If you are not lost on crowds, you should come very early in the morning. For sunrise with Picknikkorb would be a good time. Even in winter / early spring it is very crowded up there. Somehow, all roads lead to the "mountain" and the visitors only breathe to the top.

At 169.2 meters, the Wilseder Berg is the highest point in the Lüneburg Heath. The hiking trails up the mountain are very nice. You can also see Hamburg in good weather.

We have already done this tour several times. Always with other starting points. Once from Behring. Here we have strengthened ourselves in Wilsede with the famous pea soup with inlay before it continues to Wilseder Berg. In this way, the ground of the dead invites you to linger.

Carl Friedrich Gauss was not only a mathematician but also the founder of modern land surveying. He divided the surface of the earth into triangles and was thus able to make a fairly accurate area measurement. This method is still the basis for land surveying and this stone reminds of it.

There are many higher mountains around the world. Nevertheless, it has a special charm.

The Göttingen mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss carried out the survey of the Kingdom of Hannover by Triangulationim

Everyone wants to go up, but his silhouette and everything around it are at least as beautiful. And you can enjoy it pretty much on your own.

The center of the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park is the 169 m high Wilseder mountain. A wonderful vision is the wanderer's reward for the "ascent".

The Wilseder mountain is with 169m the highest elevation in the northwest German lowlands and forms the center of the nature park Lüneburger Heide.

Great all-round view, view as far as Hamburg in clear, clear weather possible

Anyone hiking through the Lüneburg Heath must definitely go to the Wilseder Berg! Great view, a lot going on at the weekend, so if you have time, go during the week.

Beautiful hiking highlight. After a good hike nice view over the heath

Pay for the climb to the highest point and mountain of the heath is always worthwhile

Super beautiful heath. An easy way up.

The climb is worthwhile in any case. The view extends far into the surrounding heathland.

Without question a great view. Even when visibility is poor, the heath looks good.

nice resting place at 169 m altitude with all-round view

Plan the mountain in the morning in the morning tour. Then you can take great pictures to the south / west and nothing dazzles

Beautiful view of the heath

You have to smile a bit: a "mountain" with 169 m height. But the one-eyed man is king among the blind. If the next low mountain range, the Harz with its 1,141 m high chunk, is sufficiently far away, then with 169 m you are just a mountain. :-)

THE MOUNTAIN in the heath. A detour from Wilsede or on a tour through the heath is worthwhile.

A beautiful path with a view of the heathland.
