Small heathland area near Lutterloh... right at the beginning there are several erratic boulders... an information board locates these in the Ice Age and provides further details

Beautiful heathland surrounded by magnificent forest... the path leads through this idyllic landscape with gentle ups and downs... especially during the heather bloom, a force of nature

The Misselhorner Heide is one of the most typical heath landscapes in the Südheide. Characteristic of this area are the wide heathlands, juniper bushes, and birches that shape the landscape. The heath is particularly impressive during the heather bloom from August to September, when the areas transform into a sea of purple colors. Compared to the better-known heath areas near Wilsede, the Misselhorner Heide is considered quieter and less visited. The German landscape painter Arnold Lyongrün was also inspired by this landscape and captured it in numerous heath paintings, which made the area known beyond the region.

The Lüßwald car park is the central gateway to one of North Germany's most impressive forest areas – the so-called "primeval forest in the Lüß". It is the ideal starting point for hikes through the Südheide Nature Park.

The paved cycle path along State Road 218 near Unterlüß leads through the Südheide Nature Park and offers a pleasant route for cyclists. Along the way, cyclists can enjoy the tranquility of the Lüßwald forest, a significant nature reserve with ancient beech and oak stands. The paved route allows for comfortable cycling amidst nature.

September 1, 2025, Lüßwald Parking Area

The Lüßwald car park is located about one kilometer southeast of Unterlüß on the L 280 country road towards Weyhausen and is a popular starting point for bike tours through the Lüßwald forest in the Southern Heath. It is well-equipped with seating areas, bike racks, and information boards. Various circular trails start from here, including the approximately 24-kilometer-long "Forest – as far as the eye can see" cycle tour, which leads through natural forest, moors, and historic sites such as the Hösseringen Museum Village. Other tours, such as the Bohlensteg bridge in the Hardautal Valley or the Tilemannseiche oak, can also be started directly from the car park. This makes the Lüßwald car park an excellent central starting point for exploring the diverse landscape of the Southern Heath by bike or on foot.
