A mystical atmosphere prevails in the juniper grove.

A beautiful barefoot path surrounds this juniper grove

The name Halverde is composed of the syllables hal (moor, swamp) and verde (vorde = ford), meaning "moor ford." The Halverde Moor is a remnant wetland of this former moor. The first documented reference dates back to 1150, when a farm in Halverde (Halfart) was donated by Count Henry I of Tecklenburg to the Bishop of Osnabrück. An entry in the Corvey Revenue Register from the 12th century is the first documented evidence of the town of Halverde. This is a deed of land gift from the noble Wigbold of Horstmar to Bishop Arnold of Osnabrück, which can be dated to 1189. According to this document, Halverde's property was to be transferred for the new monastery to be built in Recke. Over the course of history, the territorial rulers and sovereignty changed, and with it, religious affiliation. The first independent church services are said to have taken place in 1784 on a farmer's hall.[2]

The special thing is of course the heathland with juniper. But the design of the barefoot path is also very well done.

Even if you are here a little after the main flowering period, the view is worth it. It really is a small piece of Lüneburg Heath.
