Lüneburger Heide, Nature reserve in Lower Saxony, Germany

The Lüneburger Heide spans over 107,000 hectares of land, featuring extensive heathlands, wetlands, forests, streams, and rivers in northern Germany.

The protected area received its official designation in 1993, becoming one of the first recognized nature parks under the Federal Nature Conservation Act.

Traditional farmhouses with thatched roofs dot the villages within the reserve, representing centuries of agricultural heritage in Lower Saxony.

The nature reserve maintains a network of marked trails for hiking and cycling, connecting observation points that showcase diverse ecosystems throughout the park.

The area contains a 350-ton glacial boulder, the largest transported ice age remnant in Lower Saxony, marking the geological forces that shaped the landscape.
