Wooden Arch Bridge Over the Ilmenau

Highlight • Bridge

From this bridge you have to expect, if you follow the sculpture path downstream, you have to go past fallen trees.

Sculpture Trail Bienenbüttel (Skulpturenpfad Bienenbüttel)

Highlight • Trail

The sculpture path in Bienenbüttel leads you through the beautiful natural area of the Heide River Ilmenau. Not only the landscape of the Ilmenau lowlands will impress you on the way. Again and again your eyes will see sculptures that have been wonderfully integrated into the landscape of the Ilmenau valley.

In 2005, small stone towers and wooden figures were discovered along today's sculpture path. These little tricks were a mystery at first, because nobody knew who they came from. They were created by the then unknown artist Benjamin Redeleit, who drew the attention of many hikers and the interest of the Bienenbüttel community with his simple yet memorable art in the landscape. Then the idea was born to install an 8.5 km long sculpture path in the natural area of the Ilmenau.

A total of 11 artists came together and realized the sculpture path in the natural area of the Ilmenau. Each artist created an art object along the way. The materials of the art objects are very different - from wood to stone and metal to plastic - all materials have been processed by the artists into wonderful sculptures.

Dieksbach Crossing in Dieksbeck Nature Reserve

Highlight • Bridge

The Dieksbach leads at times quite a lot of water and must be crossed with a courageous jump. An old car tire helps.

View of the Ilmenau River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The landscape of the Ilmenau valley is fantastically varied. It is determined by wide meadows and pastures, which are broken up by rows of trees, interspersed swamps and swamp forests. The idyllic heath river Ilmenau is a largely natural flowing water with numerous side streams. It is by far the largest and most important body of water in the Lüneburg Heath.

February 4, 2025,[ Uelzen | Lüneburg ] Durch die ✪ Ilmenauniederung | von ✪ Wichmannsburg über ✪ Bienenbüttel nach ✪ Deutsch Evern

Die ✪ Corona-Pandemie war eine wirklich olle Zeit, geprägt von Verunsicherung und vor allem von massiven ✪ Einschränkungen. Rückblickend betrachtet, hat sie für mich persönlich aber auch einige sehr ✪ positive Veränderungen und Entwicklungen mit sich gebracht, für die ich heute sehr ✪ dankbar bin.
