View of the Totengrund from the Holzberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Totengrund is not only a dream when the heather is in bloom. Even in spring, when nature awakens, the Totengrund is a worthwhile destination. Lovers particularly appreciate it in winter or when it is foggy, as this is when the mystical image appears. Just a landscape like a watercolor painting, almost unrealistic. That's why the Totengrund is one of the most photographed areas of the Lüneburg Heath.
Impressively striking juniper bushes and heather grow in the basin, which was probably created during the Ice Age and is located one kilometer south of Wilsede. The name “Totengrund” probably comes from the barren soil.
To protect the valuable heath landscape, the Totengrund itself is not allowed to be entered. You have a wonderful view from the lookout point. Several hiking trails lead around the Totengrund: for example to Wilsede, Oberhaverbeck, Niederhaverbeck or Behringen.

Even at 0°C, with the wrong clothes (jeans and winter jacket) and a rental gherkin from the Center Parcs Bispinger Heide, an absolutely worthwhile goal!

A stunning view of the valley basin is a highlight in every season. The valley basin was probably formed during the Ice Age and was placed under nature protection as early as 1921.

Wilsede

Highlight • Settlement

The Heidedorf Wilsede (Low German / platdüütsch Wils) is a district of Bispingen im Heidekreis in the Lüneburg Heath, Lower Saxony. It is located in the middle of the nature reserve Lüneburg Heath. Although Wilsede is not a museum village in the strict sense, all the features of a pre-industrial heath village are still present here, which have been lost in other parts of the country.

On foot or by bike, both easy to do!

But it used to be different here! There was a huge stock of trees, mostly oak trees - and you can find them again in Hamburg now... the entire warehouse district was built on these oak piles. Hence the great foresight today.

Wilsede Village

Highlight • Settlement

The picturesque heath village of Wilsede is closed to motor vehicles and can only be reached on foot, by bike or by horse-drawn carriage. There are several old farms here and you can learn a lot about life in the Lüneburg Heath in the “Dat Ole Hus” museum. There are several inns where you can eat and drink.

Wilsede Village

Highlight • Settlement

Only come with wide tires - racing bikes will sink in the sand here. The cobblestone tracks in the few places on the edge where cars are allowed are also not for untrained bottoms. The views over the heathland and the scent of heather and heather sheep are unique.

View of Wilseder Berg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The landscape is always beautiful, especially in August when the heather is in bloom. Unfortunately, many paths are very natural and very difficult to ride with a normal bike. A mountain bike is more popular here. On weekends, in the main season, when many pedestrians, sometimes still with dogs, enjoy the heathland, you feel annoying as a cyclist. If you have the opportunity, you should avoid the weekends.
