Wacholderhain Merzen-Plaggenschale ... a landscape tells its story If you are asked about a heath landscape in Northern Germany, the Lüneburger Heide will be the first thing that comes to mind. This is perhaps the largest, but not the only heathland in Lower Saxony. The juniper heath near Merzen is much smaller, but at least just as interesting culturally. On the approximately 500-meter-long adventure trail through the juniper grove, you will learn interesting facts about the natural and cultural-historical characteristics of the landscape at six stations. Part of the adventure trail is designed as a barefoot path, where you can relax wonderfully with bare feet! The senses are stimulated on bumpy gravel, rough tree slices, and soft moss, promoting health and interest in nature.

The gorge systems, called Tangen, are typical of this area, which is now a nature reserve. Tang is Low German and means "pincer" or "branch." The term describes the waterways that originated in the Maiburg and cut deep, branching valleys into the terminal moraine landscape. An information board on site provides detailed information about the formation of the Ankum Heights and the Maiburger Tangen.
