View of the Büsenbachtal heathland

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the "horse's head" you have a wonderful view of the Büsenbachtal. The Büsenbach is fed as nutrient-poor running water from a Quellmoor. At the entrance of the Büsenbachtal there …

Bridge Over the Büsenbach

Highlight • Bridge

Nice resting place in the Büsenbachtal. Very popular with children - here you can play in the water ... (if there is any, everything was dry in September 2021 ...)

Hell Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

It's good that this section was marked as a “gorge”, otherwise I would not have noticed it as such ...! But also totally beautiful in this size!

August 25, 2021,Brunsberg – Büsenbachtal Runde von Buchholz (Nordheide) 🚶🏼‍♂️

First of all, I would like to thank the person unknown to me who has already completed this tour before me! That's why I took the title unchanged and only added a mandatory emoji 💡

I parked for € 1.50 next to the multi-storey car park at Buchholzer Bahnhof, where my journey started and ended 🏁

July 18, 2021,Brunsberg – Büsenbachtal, Runde von Surhoop (Nordheide)

Today's signpost was the green 1. The first half of the hike was meditative forest bathing on quiet hiking trails. As expected, the Büsenbachtal was well attended, but as soon as we went back into the forest, only a few cyclists and hikers came across us. The collie also got its money's worth, there were a few toe units and …

October 12, 2024,Ein Rundweg durch herbstliche Mystik 🍄🍄‍🟫🍂🍁

A few weeks ago, Komoot suggested this tour to me. I usually don't like the suggestions, but this one was different.

I was already in Buchholz before sunrise. Nothing compares to the morning mood.
The weather was better than expected - wonderfully autumnal 🍂🌞. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves.
The tour was more strenuous than expected. Maybe someone wants …

October 31, 2024,Himmel und Hölle - Rundweg in der Nordheide

On the way to Lüneburg we made a stopover in Buchholz in the Nordheide.
The hike, which is called "Heaven and Hell", starts at the train station and initially runs together with the Heidschnuckenweg (I hiked it in 2020, very beautiful in the heather blooming season 😊).
After two kilometers you leave Buchholz behind and walk through the forest. Until …

February 2, 2022,220202 Runde Büsenbachtal - Pferdekopf - Höllenschlucht - Brunsberg

This Wednesday we were 5 women and 8 men who once again dared to jump across the Elbe in cars.

You can also get to Büsenbachtal by train via Buchholz, but you are a bit more flexible by car.😥

The landscape of the area is very attractive and varied: Heath, forests and as highlights the horse head and the Brunsberg, …
