Schwarze Berge Trail, Fischbeker Heide

Highlight • Trail

This section is very rooty and goes up and down repeatedly, so good footwear helps.

Kuhteich Pond in the Fischbek Valley

Highlight • Lake

This small pond lies just a few kilometers southwest of the Hanseatic city. This spot is particularly beautiful in late summer, when the blooming heather casts a purple veil over the landscape. It unfolds a truly special magic in autumn, when the leaves shimmer purple in the sun.

Fischbeker Heide viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A popular place to take a break in summer, so it is usually relatively full. The only bench here is in great demand ... so bring a picnic blanket with you!

Heather Trails in the Fischbeker Heide

Highlight • Natural

The Fischbek Heath is a very popular day trip destination for Hamburg residents. This nature reserve and former forest area lies south of the Hanseatic city. When the heather blooms in late summer, the landscape glows as if covered in a purple carpet. If you keep your eyes and ears open, you'll discover the immense diversity of species and plants in this area.

View of the northern Fischbeker Heide

Highlight • Viewpoint

Heath as far as the horizon! From the northern end of the Fischbeker Heide you can enjoy fantastic views of the landscape blooming purple in autumn. Both the Heidschnucken Trail and the Wulmstorfer Heide hiking trail lead along here.

Starting point of the Heidschnuckenweg at Fischbeker Heide

Highlight • Trail

Here, on the southern edge of Hamburg, the 223 kilometer long Heidschnuckenweg starts to Celle. A beautifully designed display shows you the course of the entire long-distance hiking trail, which is one of the most beautiful in all of Germany. I can only confirm this after my hike this year.

Even though the heath is largely flat, you can enjoy a few meters of altitude with great views, especially on the first stage. The best way to get to the starting point of the Heidschnuckenweg is via Hamburg Central Station and then the S-Bahn line S3, which will take you to Fischbek. From the S-Bahn station it's about two kilometers to walk and you'll be in the middle of the beautiful heath.

November 30, 2022,221130 Runde Fischbeker Heide - Staatsforst Rosengarten - Schwarze Berge

This Wednesday we ran (8🏃‍♀️ and 7🏃‍♂️) again in the south of Hamburg.

You can also get to the start quite comfortably by bus from Neugraben.
The Fischbeker Heide is a special and worthwhile landscape at any time of the year, even when the heath is not in bloom.
The subsequent "Black Mountains" are actually quite mountainous by North German …
