Highlight • Mountain Hut

March 17, 2026, Beehive Shelter and Stamping Point, Naturpark Lüneburger Heide

The small shelter is modeled after a historic beehive... inside, a historic beehive illustrates a bee colony and its individual inhabitants... right next to the shelter, you can also get the corresponding stamp for your hiking pass.

Very spacious cabin with a generous green area around it... Theoretically suitable for an overnight stay... however, it is located next to a wide forest road...

On the way to or from Wilseder Berg, you'll pass this beehive and learn about bees and their honey from the heath. There's also a stamping station here.

Large shelter with benches inside and outside. The hut has a sandy floor. There is also space for 1-2 small tents inside and around the hut. However, the hut is located close to civilization, so there is a lot of public traffic.

Very nice hut with logbook, well maintained. Tie-down bars for horses also available. Was a perfect break stop for our hike with two dogs and horse 😊

The first stage of the Heidschnuckenweg also runs along here, which I can highly recommend for a day hike. All information about the Heidschnuckenweg can be found under the following link: https://www.heidschnuckenweg.de/ (as of May 10, 2024).
