Lüneburg Heath intensive

Colorful heathlands, mystical moors, fragrant deciduous forests, enchanted streams, and historic heath villages – the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park is a region with many facets and a worthwhile destination for varied vacation days at any time of the year. Hardly any other region can offer so many variations of nature, culture, and experiences within its borders.
