Juniper forest

Highlight • Forest

At the Faßberg we go through a fantastic heath landscape again. Countless juniper bushes also grow here, which is why the area is also known as the juniper forest.

Heathland in Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Natural

The heath is always worth a visit – not just during the heather bloom in August, when the landscape transforms into a glorious purple. The nature park stretches over 480 square kilometers between the heathland villages of Eschede, Hermannsburg, Müden, Unterlüß, and Winsen (Aller). The Southern Heath Nature Park offers protection to animals sensitive to disturbance, such as the crane and the black stork. Herds of Heidschnucke sheep (Heidschnucke sheep) take care of the landscape – they regularly nibble on the heather. Numerous hiking and cycling trails lead through the hilly heathland, which dates back to the Ice Age.

Detailed information about the nature park can be found here: nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/naturpark-suedheide

Gnarled junipers along the trail in Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Forest

In addition to the heather, the juniper trees/bushes are another plant that thrives well in this special area and also looks beautiful.

Oberoher Heath

Highlight • Natural

The Oberoher Heide is the largest contiguous heath area in the Südheide. The landscape is diverse and home to birch trees, junipers, beeches and of course heather. The path leads along forest edges and small ponds, over heathland and through sandy hollows.

Bench with a great view over one of the heaths of the Oberoher Heide.
If you're lucky, you can even see a herd of Heidschnucken sheep.
