On the Queen's Trail around Amelinghausen, the legendary Hünen Trail near Oldendorf/Luhe and the Heide-Panorama-Trail near Soderstrof and Schwindebeck, you can stamp the Heidediplom in bronze, silver or gold. Exciting legends and fairy tales as well as information about the Lüneburg Heath can be discovered in stamp boxes along all three paths, and five stamps can be collected each time. If you collect all five stamps of a path, you receive the heath diploma in bronze, if you collect five stamps from each of two paths, you receive the heath diploma in silver, and if you collect all 15 stamps, you receive the heath diploma in gold. https://www.lueneburger-heide.de/service/artikel/5324/amelinghausener-heidediplom.html
