Großer Flusspfad (Great River Trail) – Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Trail

This is a very romantic passage on the hike. Always next to the babbling Oertze and on a rustic, rooty single trail. There is still a lot to learn from the great signage!

On the country road between Hermannsburg and Müden (Örtze), the 102 meter high Wietzer Berg rises gently. From here you have a wonderful view of the Örtzetal and one of the most beautiful heath areas in the Südheide Nature Park.

Müden (Örtze) village

Highlight • Settlement

The two rivers Örtze and Wietze have shaped the town. People probably settled here more than 1000 years ago, sheltered by the waters. The Wietze flows into the Örtze here, …

September 8, 2024,Sonnenaufgang in der Südheide ♡ // Heideschleife Müden

Yes, I've now got up in the middle of the night at 3:15 a.m. two Sundays in a row...
Don't ask 😂
But what can I say: It was more than worth it once again
I just love this peace and quiet in the early morning 🥰

August 19, 2025,Heideschleife Müden (Örtze)

It's actually been almost two years since I last hiked a heathland loop, and I've never really had the opportunity to drive all the way to the southern heath to complete the missing loops. Today, however, there were no more excuses, and the two of us set off. Stop one was Müden an der Örtze. With a planned 12.5 kilometers, …

January 12, 2025,Heideschleife Müden (Örtze) – Malerische Dorfidylle trifft plätschernden Bach

A wonderfully varied route with some beautiful paths through heath, forest and by the stream. Today it was a perfect fit for the time and weather/path conditions. The muddy parts along the Örtze were frozen and easy to walk on. The Heidesee with the afternoon ☀️ is simply a dream 🤩.
For me, a route that is certainly attractive at …

January 1, 2025,Heideschleife Müden (Örtze) – Stürmische Neujahrs Edition

Beloved traditions must be maintained!
So we covered our hungover heads with hats so that our full bellies could be carried through the heath on legs tired from dancing. Standard German: This year our New Year's hike took us to the southern heath to Müden, where we completed the last of the heath loops in a small but cheerful group. …

We have @Sven to thank for this tour, who ran it in August this year 👍
His description of the tour is so detailed, it couldn't be better, so just click on the "link" for those who are interested: komoot.de/tour/1258943677?ref=atd
We didn't have as nice a weather as he did and it occasionally drizzled 🌧 from the clouds, but that …

August 20, 2023,Müdener Champagner-Vollbad mit Otterbock-Heide-Schleife 15km

After two short nights (Fury Open Air and garden party), Ulf's suggestion of a relaxed Heideschleife came in handy.
From the parking lot we went through the heath up to Wietzer Berg.

Then we went through a varied area - in about the same way as the pictures are shown again ...
Lissi was able to cool off for the …
