Fürstengrab Lookout Tower
Highlight • Viewpoint
Near a burial mound from the Neolithic period, the "prince's grave", you can enjoy a beautiful view of a diverse heath landscape from a spacious viewing platform. In good weather you can even see Hamburg.
A special feature, usually not so clearly recognizable, are the longitudinal channels in the heath area. These "scars" of the heath are witnesses of an epochal change in the landscape use. They were created in the course of reforestation in the 19th century.
Already knew? Steam plows used to break the ground ...
It has been over 100 years since huge steam plows broke the ground here to reforest the forest. These longitudinal channels mark the heath until today. Centuries of pagan farming had ruined the soil. At shallow depths leachings often formed stone-like layers called "Ortstein". With normal device would have been no getting through. Only the huge steam plows could break the Ortstein to plant trees again.

Heather in bloom on the Lüneburg Heath
Highlight • Natural
Strong purple from many millions of blossoms, interrupted by the lush green of the juniper and pine trees and the silvery white of the birches color the entire region.
The heather blossom is the absolute highlight of the year in the Lüneburg Heath. Anyone who has smelled the scent of honey, witnessed a sunset on the Wilseder Berg and hiked through the expanse of heathland knows what this region has to offer.
Vacationers especially love the vastness of the heath, because the various heath areas, especially in the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve, are so large that you can only see heath as far as the horizon. Since the region is very flat, you have a great view over the blooming heathland from the smallest elevation.
