Machandel Discovery Trail

A discovery trail for the
whole family

The Machandel Trail is
primarily aimed at children whose parents want them to enjoy learning about the
history of landscape development and cultivation of Lüneburg Heath. There are
23 different stations with topics such as "Types of habitat in Lüneburg
Heath Nature Reserve", "Historical and current ways of using the Heath", and "Feel and touch", all of which help to teach the
younger visitors about the history of landscape development and cultivation of
the heathland.

Starting the trail in
Oberhaverbeck or Döhle

Visitors can start the walk
either from the large car park in Oberhaverbeck or from the Döhle car park in
the direction of Wilsede, discovering many new things as they go along. In
addition, a leaflet and various colouring sheets relating to the discovery
trail have been produced. They are available for 2 Euro in the Nature Information
Centres of the VNP, the museum shop in Wilsede, or the Heath Museum "Dat
ole Huus".

Enjoy getting to know about nature
and the landscape

All the stations on the discovery
trail are designed in such a way that children can comfortably reach, read, and
operate all the elements. Children of different age groups can enjoy getting to
know about nature and the landscape. The Heidemuseum "Dat ole Huus"
is included in the route.
