The Wacholderwald parking lot near Schmarbeck is an ideal starting point for cycling tours through the largest juniper forest in northern Germany, located in the Southern Heath. From here, well-marked trails lead through dense juniper stands, heathland landscapes, and expansive views, where cyclists may also observe Heidschnuck sheep along the way. The parking lot itself features picnic areas with tables, bike racks, and information boards, making it a particularly suitable place for a break during a cycling tour. The area offers diverse nature experiences and is accessible year-round, making the parking lot a perfect starting point for an active day in the Lüneburg Heath.

St. George's Church in Hanstedt I, in the Uelzen district, is one of the oldest fieldstone churches in Northern Germany. The Romanesque nave probably dates back to 980. The Gothic choir, built of brick, was added around 1400 to 1500 and features a cross-ribbed vault. The current west tower dates from 1887 and replaced an earlier defensive tower. Particularly worth seeing is the late Gothic winged altar from the 15th century (ca. 1460–1470), which originally came from Ebstorf Monastery. Also impressive is the richly decorated Baroque pulpit from 1702, with its figurative decoration and symbolism. A painting of the Last Supper from the Reformation period and a rare altar gallery complete the furnishings. The organ was built in 1887 and renovated in 1970. The church remains the spiritual center of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation with approximately 925 members from Hanstedt I and surrounding villages. It is located at the starting point of the Resurrection Trail, a 4-kilometer-long spiritual path with 13 art stations that leads to the monastery church in Ebstorf.

Flugplatz Barnsen On Ascension Day, it's worth a nice trip. There are many small, different planes to see. Sightseeing flight, bouncy castle, snacks, and carousel. Always on Ascension Day. Inform yourself beforehand if it will actually take place 😊

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: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/naturpark-suedheide
