Luneburg trip - based in one hotel

Individual journey to Schneverdingen. Perhaps you will get to know the heath in the evening with some culinary delights: Heidschnucken roast and buckwheat pancakes?

‘Heath, forest and people stories’ is the theme of the former heath farm and forest experience centre ‘Ehrhorn 1’. Here you can take a break. You then cycle back to Schneverdingen through typical heathland villages such as Wilsede and Niederhaverbeck, through the Haverbeeke valley.

You travel via Schneverdingen-Zahrensen to the watermill in Lünzen. The mill, which was first mentioned in 1587, was in operation until the end of the 1970s and has been powered by steam, diesel and electric motors for the last 70 years. One of the original two water wheels has been removed and can be visited. 

Your journey continues to Fintel. Here you will find the home of Friedrich Freudenthal, a well-known North German local poet. You return to Schneverdingen via the villages of Haswede and Osterwede.

The train takes you to Soltau (ticket included, duration approx. 15 minutes). Soltau has an impressive town hall and the North German Toy Museum. The town is famous for the Heidepark Soltau amusement park and the Soltau Museum, which looks back over four centuries of history. You can reach the historic site of Wiedeholz by bike, where the warlike event of 28 June 1519 is explained to you in a gunner's hut.

The route continues through the southern Osterheide to the Möhr farm. The heath farm was farmed until 1977. In Wolderdingen there is a church steeped in history, which was extensively restored in 2000. The route leads through the Böhmheide forest back to the starting point.

The Aueweg leads through meadows and fields across the Fintau to Wintermoor, the gateway to the heath. On the southern edge of the Höpen local recreation area, the festival grounds of the annual heather blossom festival held at the end of August are located on a hill. In a show garden laid out as a heather circle, you will find 130 different types of heather with around 120,000 plants, so that the variety of flowering heather can be marvelled at throughout the year.
