Heath bike path

Explore the heath landscapes in the southeast of Hamburg by bike.

The eastern Lüneburg Heath is a very varied landscape in the southeast of Hamburg. The beautiful Hanseatic city of Lüneburg, the grandiose Elbtalaue, the forest areas of the Göhrde and Drawehns, the Nemitzer Heide and the land of the round villages comprise this unique cycle route. This is the land of many faces with a deeply rooted culture in earlier and more recent history. The round villages with their special architecture and old farming culture invite you to linger.
