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.

Romantics, nature lovers and friends of culture – they all like the Lüneburg Heath like once the heath poet Hermann Löns did.

The Saxon duke Hermann Billung had probably built a castle near the today’s Peter Paul church, which became later on the centre of the settlement.
