Schwindebecker Heath

The heath near the village of Schwindebeck only spreads a few hundred
metres between the adjacent forests, but its sandy trails cover many kilometres
in length. The paths lead to Feldherrenhügel
(‘‘commander’s hill’’), from where there is a great view over the long Schwindebecker Heath and the surrounding
countryside.

The name of the elevated area reflects
its earlier use as a military training area, when British tanks transformed the
area into a sandy moonscape. Since 1990, Schwindebecker Heath has been a
successful example for the 
restoration
of heathlands
.

Footpath



A designated hiking route called
the Heath Panorama Path leads across
Schwindebecker Heath. The yellow
directional arrows
on a blue background also lead to Schwindequelle, a true natural
wonder.

 

Schwindebeck



This beautiful village is located
between Soderstorf and Bispingen, 8 minutes drive from Amelinghausen. Both at Schwindequelle
and county road 44, car parks form an ideal starting point for a walk across Schwindebecker Heath.



For nature lovers with camper vans, we recommend the parking area right on Schwindebecker Heath.
