Between Hamburg and Hanover, in the middle of the North German Plain, lies a cultural and natural landscape like something out of a picture book: the Lüneburg Heath. Gentle hills, sparse forests, heathland, moors and picturesque villages make this area a popular vacation destination - and right in the middle of it all you can relax and take a vacation in one of the Romantik Hotels & Restaurants.

Heath, Heidschnucken and hills

The Lüneburg Heath is not only worth a trip during the famous heather blossom in late summer. Large parts of the landscape are protected as a nature park, such as the areas around the Wilseder Berg. The mountain reaches a height of almost 170 metres, making it the highest elevation far and wide. A panoramic view from the "summit" gives a good impression of the charm of this sandy landscape formed by hills, hollows, heath and scattered birch and pine trees. Car traffic is prohibited in the nature park, but heath sheep, horse riders and hikers have right of way. At the foot of the mountain lies the half-timbered village of Wilsede, where you can board a horse-drawn carriage for a tour of the heath, sit in the secluded beer garden or take a look around the local history museum. Other places of interest include the Pietzmoor moor in Schneverdingen, the heathland in the Büsenbachtal valley near Handeloh and the lake landscape of the Meißendorf ponds - and it's all on the doorstep of your hotel in Lüneburg Heath. Enjoy long walks or visit the Wildpark Lüneburg Heath with its varied wonders of nature.

The stylish hotels of the Lüneburg Heath

You stay with Romantik in a former post station from the century before last or in a restored half-timbered building from the 16th century. Both houses are in any case the right setting to enjoy this unique landscape. In addition, you can be pampered by your hosts with creations from the hood kitchen and regional specialties. Book your hotel - the Lüneburg Heath is so close and yet far away from the stressful everyday life.
