Split tree in Wahner Heide

Highlight • Natural Monument

I find that there are only a few places like the Wahner Heide, where you can find several different vegetation zones in a small space: From the dunes over birch and beech forests to the heath.

Very distinctive oak on the edge of the heathland, which somehow reminds of the mystical forests in Tolkien's descriptions.

August 20, 2025,Lila Blütenmeer in Wahner Heide – ab PP Fliegenberg👍

Today I stood in the middle of a sea of blooming heather. The heather transformed the landscape into a purple ribbon. It was quiet—yet full of life. Simply wonderful!
...and I only walked barefoot through the sand. 😉

I'm a big fan of the Wahner Heide. In spring the gorse blooms here and z. Currently the heather. When I'm out and about here, a stop at the Heidekönig forest restaurant is a must!
