The heathland landscape of the Lüneburg Heath is beautiful at any time of year. The vast expanses of heathland, with their purple carpets, are a feast for the eyes during the flowering season. Those who don't necessarily have to travel during the flowering season are better off choosing the other seasons when there's significantly less going on.

The town of Soltau in the Lüneburg Heath lies in the so-called Elbe-Weser triangle, at the center of the metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Bremen, and Hanover. With approximately 23,000 inhabitants, Soltau is the second-largest town in the Heidekreis district and a state-recognized climatic health resort with a brine spa. A wide range of cultural and leisure activities, numerous sports facilities, an above-average range of shopping and amenities, green spaces in the town, cozy alleys and corners in the pedestrian zone, safe traffic routes, and, last but not least, a protected environment for families make Soltau an attractive, medium-sized town.

The fountain is not only a place to relax, but is also often used as a backdrop for souvenir photos of the most beautiful day of one's life.

Anyone who has booked an overnight stay here, whether by bike or on foot, should definitely check for rest days. Unfortunately, we overlooked this and, after 75 km against the wind, had to get back on our bikes and cycle over 4 km to the nearest restaurant. This wasn't so great, especially given the unstable weather. Breakfast in the morning was excellent.
