Lueneburg Heath
From/to Lüneburg
On the Tracks of Hermann Löns
Romantics, nature lovers and friends of culture – they all like the Lüneburg Heath like once the heath poet Hermann Löns did. German heaths (sheep), which browse calm in the broad landscape, amusement parks, which tell you stories and promise adventures, old timber-framework and a railway station as an art object in Uelzen: The character of the heath is multifaceted. Only high mountains are absent, but this is not necessarily a disadvantage for cyclists. Bicycle and heath: That fits together very well.
