Wilseder Berg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A visit to the Wilseder Berg is part of every visit to the Lüneburg Heath. The ascent is not that difficult, but you will still be rewarded with a wonderful view. The Heidschnuckenweg also passes here.

View of the Totengrund

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Wilsede two paths lead southwards to the ground of the dead. Once there, you have a great view over the heath and far beyond - absolutely recommendable! Interesting for mountain bikers: From the vantage point, several trails lead down: the Totentrail, the Holzbergtrail and Steingrundtrail. Have fun!

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!

A particularly attractive section of the Heidschnuckenweg leads through the wild and romantic hell gorge up to the mountain. The Höllenschlucht is an exciting dry valley in the forest that is ideal for a short hike to the Brunsberg. Also ideal for scavenger hunts with children. You hike through more or more sparse pine and mixed deciduous forests to the foot of the mountain, so that most of them are shaded and pleasantly cool even on hot summer days.

There are many higher mountains around the world. Nevertheless, it has a special charm.

A very scenic section, even if the term "gorge" often means that the hell gorge is only realized as such after the hike ;-)

There is a heavily musked forest above the Höllenschlucht. This is as romantic as the Hell Gorge.
