リューネブルガーハイデ自然公園の湖・トップ19

The Pastorenteiche are a popular entry point into the Wesel Heath, a popular resting place or end point of a tour.

The Pastorenteiche are a popular starting or ending point for a hike and are also popular as a rest stop on a hike through the Wesel Heath.

When the Pastorenteiche ponds open up before you and the Wesel Heath beyond, it's always a beautiful sight. No wonder Pastor Wilhelm Bode liked to linger here. Especially since the Pastorenteiche ponds are located directly on the Kerkstieg.

Sylvestersee The picturesque Sylvestersee, named after a British officer, was created by the compaction of the subsoil by heavy military machines. Today it blends harmoniously into the Osterheide and, although it is only fed by rainwater, has never dried out. You can go hiking, cycling or riding in one of the numerous carriages through the Osterheide. https://www.lueneburger-heide.de/natur/sehenswuerdigkeit/574/osterheide-schneverdingen.html

The heath, no matter which one 😉 is not only beautiful in summer. In winter it is empty and quiet and beautiful 👍

The well-known heathland areas were created as a result of agricultural use in earlier centuries. Typical of the areas that are now protected are the nutrient-poor sandy soils on which only a few plants thrive, such as birch and pine forests, but of course also heather, the common heather (Calluna vulgaris). The hiking trails lead past isolated juniper bushes, bee fences and an old sheep barn through the characteristic hills and valleys of the Wesel Heath. With a bit of luck, you might also come across a herd of hardworking Heidschnucken sheep, which have been used to look after the heathland for several centuries. There are also a few lakes in the Wesel Heath. Heath pastor Wilhelm Bode, the founder of the nature reserve, is said to have often sat at the "Pastorenteiche" to prepare his sermons in God's great outdoors. Hence the name Pastorenteiche. https://www.lueneburger-heide.de/natur/sehenswuerdigkeit/9137/undeloh-weseler-heide.html

Beautiful pond that should not be entered to protect the animals.
