The Lüneburg Heath is a unique cultural landscape. The nature reserve covers an area of almost 1070 km² in north-eastern Lower Saxony around the cities of Hamburg, Bremen and Hanover. The heathland region is one of the most beautiful vacation regions in Germany.
Pure enjoyment of nature can be found in Central Europe's largest contiguous area of heath. Special plant species, rare animal species and the colour purple characterise the landscape. The silence of the heath and the vastness of nature are healing for body and soul. Numerous hiking and biking trails run through the region and are waiting to be explored. Nature lovers get their money's worth here. The landscape of the Heidekreis provides countless templates for the perfect enjoyment of nature.
In addition to magnificent nature, the Lüneburg Heath also offers adrenaline and thrills. With up to 18 attractions in the surrounding area, there is a suitable experience for every target group. The Heide Park Resort in Soltau is one of the largest amusement parks in northern Germany and guarantees an unforgettable stay. Adventure and fun are guaranteed for young and old. Up to 30 attractions and unique theme worlds await visitors. If you really want to get up close and personal with animals, a visit to Serengeti Park or Weltvogelpark Walsrode should be on your bucket list. But the Lüneburg Heath has a lot more to offer: Snow Dome Bispingen, The Crazy House or even the Lüneburg Heath adventure labyrinth.
For all culture seekers and history buffs, the Heidekreis offers a varied range of art exhibitions, theaters, museums and monasteries. Guests can immerse themselves in the history of the Lüneburg Heath: lively and genuine!
The cities of Lüneburg and Celle are located in the Heidekreis and are two equal, unequal sisters. Both cities have an extraordinary history. Lüneburg is a Hanseatic city with a great wealth of salt. The huge salt dome lies directly under the city. Celle is the residence town and home of English kings. Celle and Lüneburg are worth a trip and you don't have to choose between the two.
