Juniper forest

Highlight • Forest

At the Faßberg we go through a fantastic heath landscape again. Countless juniper bushes also grow here, which is why the area is also known as the juniper forest.

Nice round. The starting point is the juniper forest car park in Faßberg. From there, the path leads first around a large heather field, then into a small forest. Later, it goes straight on for what feels like several kilometers through a managed forest and along several agricultural areas... please don't be discouraged 😉 The path then bends off again …

Finally, we walked cross-country along the forest to avoid the asphalt stretch. Things got more adventurous when we went through a wet ditch 😄. Our …

After the sunrise in the Ellerndorf Heath, we continue a little southwest towards Schmarbeck.

The juniper forest near Schmarbeck is home to the only summit cross (with summit book) in the Lüneburg Heath at an altitude of 94 m above sea level on the Faßberg. Otherwise, the area with the largest juniper forest in northern Germany is fairly flat and …
