Nowadays, there is only a badly damaged rest area, a bit away from the hustle and bustle - good for those who don't want to take a break in public under the "summit cross" or at the parking lot.

The summit cross on the Faßberg (94 m above sea level) in the Schmarbeck juniper forest is an ideal destination for cyclists. The route leads along well-developed cycle paths through open heathland and shady forests directly to the cross. Whether for a short ride or a longer tour through the Lüneburg Heath, cyclists can enjoy the view and inspect the rustic wooden cross upon reaching the summit cross.

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

Diatomaceous earth was created by open-cast mining until the mid-20th century. Diatomaceous earth is a whitish substance derived from the shells of diatoms, which are the main component of marine plankton. They range in size from 10 to several hundred micrometers. Diatomaceous earth was used to produce shock-resistant and portable dynamite from nitroglycerin, which explodes when shaken.
