Paaschberg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The very steep approach to the 67m high observation tower on the Paaschberg is worthwhile because you are rewarded with fantastic views in all directions. And whoever climbed the mountain first of course also climbs the tower. You can take a breather upstairs and go down like a rocket anyway

Salzhausen Fire Hose Tower (Schlauchturm) and Sprüttenhus

Highlight • Monument

The wooden fire hose tower from 1902, which is a listed building, houses the "Sprüttenhus" and is probably the smallest museum in Germany.

On October 29, 1901, the local committee decided on the construction and its execution based on a drawing, and on July 22, 1902, the finished tower was inspected and accepted by the committee members. It was located right next to the oak tree from 1871, which marked the founding of the German Empire.

In addition to its actual function, the tower also served as a local detention cell for vagrants. However, if the detainees' desire for freedom got the better of them, it was easy for them to dig their way to freedom. As one of the last wooden examples in this region, the Salzhausen hose tower is a listed building. It was completely restored in 1986 and a small exhibition on the history of the fire service was put on in 1988.

Ostrich Farm Lüneburg Heath

Highlight • Structure

There is an ostrich farm right on the street. An impressive number of animals can be seen there. With a little patience, they are also very curious and move towards you. With the necessary safety margin, of course.
