There is a lot to discover in Lüneburg Heath Nature Park, between the Heath towns of Buchholz i.d. Nordheide, Soltau in the south, Schneverdingen in the west, and Eyendorf in the east.

In the summer season, from July 15th to October 15th, we offer you a very special service to help you explore the region - the Heath Shuttle.

The timetable for the 2020 season can be found below in the attachments, soon.

The Heath Shuttle is a free leisure bus with a total of 4 circular bus routes (rings).

The special feature of the Heath shuttle is that it runs daily in the summer season and all 4 circular bus routes have a bike trailer!

The bike trailers can carry up to 14 bicycles and be accessed by bike at each Heath Shuttle bus stop.



Go on an adventure tour, hike or cycle in the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park with the Heide-Shuttle.


The exact routs of the 4 circular Heath Shuttle busses and the stops at which you can board can be found in the enclosed map and the attached timetables of the individual circular bus routes.

The buses operate every day of the week, including Sundays and public holidays. The Heath Shuttles run 6 to 8 times a day, depending on the individual stop from 9am to 7pm.
