Waldsee Gifhorner Heath

Highlight • Lake

Beautifully situated between the forest and the B4.
I prefer the trail on the east side, even if it gets rough at times.
It's also beautiful in autumn when the trees are colorful

Waldsee (Lüneburg Heath)

Highlight • Lake

From Winkel to Waldsee, almost circling it, then through the forest into the Gifhorner Heide and then along the nature trail to the hiking car park on the Allerkanal.

Gifhorn Heath

Highlight • Natural

The Gifhorner Heide is affectionately also called "Gifhorner Schweiz" (Gifhorn Switzerland) because of the small hills and valleys. Especially in the evening hours with the setting sun, an impressive play of colors in the landscape!
