Unfortunately the bathing is forbidden there but to break make very nice. And dogs can drink something when the water looks good.

Schwindebecker Heath

Highlight • Natural

Used militarily until the 1990s, the Schwindebecker Heide today is an impressive example of the revitalization of heath landscapes.
Small, fine heathland with many pause benches.

The Heide Panorama Trail has a lot of variety to offer. It feels like you discover something new almost every 300 meters. The Schwindequelle is particularly noteworthy, which, with its 60 liters of water discharge per second, is the second most water-rich spring in Lower Saxony and is particularly striking due to its fascinating colors.

Today we hiked the third and final stage of the Amelingerhausen Heath Diploma. Despite a few scattered rain showers, it was a very beautiful hike. My favorite of these three circular trails, however, remains the "legendary Hünenweg." After completing all three trails and stamping your stamp card, you receive the Gold Heath Diploma at the Tourist Information Center in Amelingenhausen. …

I'm slowly realizing that I should do some training before the planned thru hike. At least the constant rain seems to be over now, even if the paths are still incredibly wet in places. Great signposted circular route, only in one place I should have been a little more attentive.

A hike that showed @Thorsten 🚴‍♂️🥾⛰🍻 the sinkhole made me curious and saved the tour. Early this morning I dug the tour out of the hiking supplies. I partly followed Thorsten's route and partly the signposted hiking trail through the Schwindebecker Heide. Between km 10.3 and 11.3 the path listed on komoot no longer existed, but I found a way …

We drove directly to the parking lot in the mobile home and after a logistical masterpiece on the part of both parties, we set off: the Schwindebecker Heide was used by the military until the 1990s. The highlights of the tour were the Schwindequelle and the path through the Luhetal.

The next morning we went to Soderstorf on the Heide-Panorama-Weg. It took me half an hour to start at the train station.

The Heide-Panorama-Weg is a circular route near Soderstorf and Schwindebeck with a length of 14km. The trail marker is a white A on a blue background. Among other things, it leads through the beautiful Schwindebecker Heide and past …

The Heide-Panorama-Tour can be started in several places and since you walk an "8", you can halve it. We wanted to stop at Café Karsten in Soderstorf halfway, so we parked on Schwinderbecker Heide.
The part south of the track is wet and green even in this dry summer. The route is surprisingly varied between ponds, over tracks and streams. …
