If it is too crowded in the Lüneburg Heath during the # Heideblüte, maybe you should take a look around the Kirchdorfer Heide ?!

Lt. According to the community of Kirchdorf, the Kirchdorfer Heide is one of the largest contiguous heather areas in Lower Saxony.

Really great area, is in no way inferior to the Lüneburg Heath. But next time we'll park in the large parking lot and start hiking on the signposted hiking trails. It's definitely great when the heather is in bloom and the rhododendrons on one section of the path.
