Lüneburg Heath

Heidschnucke and blooming nature

The Lüneburg Heath

Romanticist, venturous roller coaster heroes and friends of culture – they all love the moor land of Lüneburg like poet Hermann Löns did. We are not surprised about that! Amusement parks, old timbered house and an especial train station in Uelzen: this region is multifunctional – and you will find no mountains here. But this is no disadvantage for bikers. You will cycle on excellent bike paths. This moor land and your bike: that fits.

The Hundertwasser Station in Uelzen and the half-timbered houses in Celle delight visitors in the Lüneburg Heath. In the Örtzetal, you'll find pure nature, while the Northern German Toy Museum and the Heide Park in Soltau offer fun and excitement.

Day
01
Arrival in Lüneburg

Today the final destination will be Uelzen. There you can find a lot of medieval churches and chapels. The art in that city is beautiful; in the city is a new train station since 2000 and again in style of Hundertwasser.

Across the towns Holdenstedt, Holxen, Suderburg, Scharnhorst and Graßen at the end you will find your today’s destination Residenzstadt Celle. About 480 restored half-timbered houses create the old city also the Celler palace is really impressive. Enjoy the city and go for a stroll. 

Along the Örtze you will get to small wood bridges and you have an amazing view into the Örtzetal. If you are lucky you can find interesting things in the nature. Hermannsburg tells you a story more than 1000 years ago. Herzog from Sachsen, Hermann Billung, had probably built a castle near where nowadays the Peter Paul church is and where later the city developed.  

Through the nature park Südheide you pass the Lönsstein to the city of Soltau with the worth seeing city hall, the North German Toy Museum or the famous Heide Park with numerous shows and attractions.

Today the destinations are Wiedeholy, place where the last knight fight took place, the former Heathfarm Möhr and the typical Heathchurch in Wolterdingen. Enjoy the rest of the day in Schneverdingen for example in the Heathgarden with 130 different heath products.

Bike tour through the typical heath landscape of the Nordheide National Park. Heath, pine forests and moorland sheep characterize the vastness of the landscape here. Over the "Wilseder Berg" and through small romantic hamlets, the tour continues to Lüneburg with its picturesque center.
