Welcome to Wathlingen

The communities of Adelheidsdorf, Nienhagen and Wathlingen merged in 1973 to form a joint community. If you want to relax, switch off from the stress of everyday life, this is the right place.

An idyllic landscape with extensive forests and meadows, where horses and cows graze, invites you to extensive hiking and biking tours or a carriage ride.

Located in the southwest of the region Luneburg Heath, agriculture and especially in Adelheidsdorf the horse industry play an essential role. The most beautiful and best horses are trained in the stallion testing center.

In the 30s and 40s Nienhagen was the largest German oil production area. Today the excellent sports facilities are known far beyond the borders of the district. A distinctive leisure offer such as disc golf is also available to our guests.

Wathlingen is visible from far away through the large potash mountain (Kaliberg). Potash was produced here until 1996 and on the old railway tracks you can experience nature from a different perspective with motor and bicycle trolleys.

Discover new things, enjoy events and hospitality, that is the 4 generations Park Wathlingen. 

In 2008 the nature contact station was established and since then it has been developed further and further. It conveys fun in the encounter with and in nature. The nature experience garden serves not only to impart knowledge to young and old but also as a local recreational offer.

The cultural life is determined by the local clubs and associations. The annual events include the potato market and the Christmas market in Wathlingen, the Hachefest in Nienhagen, the Barbara festival of the miners' association and, for decades, the Wathlinger music festival, which has been bringing a wide range of music to the ears of the whole village.
