The Heidesee was created in 1974 and is originally actually a pond. To date, the lake has developed into an important habitat for many plants and animals, such as dragonflies.
Wooden benches and tables around the lake invite you to have a picnic or simply relax. In the summer months you can dangle your feet in the cool water on one of the small jetties, watch the sailing boats and enjoy the sunset. No matter what time of day or year - the Heidesee always has its charm, not least because of its fantastically beautiful reflections.
On a short walk (approx. 2.5 km) around the Heidesee you can discover a lot of interesting flora and fauna.
On the four information boards, signposts for the large river path that leads along the lake, you can find out a lot of interesting information about:
• Plant
• Animals
• Forest
• Water
The river-forest adventure trail extends along picturesque forest paths and paths along the Örtze. The total 20 km of the path is divided into several sections that are easy to hike and invite you to explore tours of between 3 and 6.5 km.
