Lüneburg - Heath Nature Reserve

In the center of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve rises the Wilseder Berg (169 m/554ft), the highest point in the North German lowlands, from which there are extensive views of the heath. Southeast of the hill is the Totengrund ("Dead Men's Ground"), a low-lying area covered with heather and juniper through which the dead were borne from Wilsede to Bispingen for burial.

On the northeastern border of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve, near Hanstedt-Nindorf, lies the Lüneburg Heath Game Park, with over 1,000 animals, including bear, elk and many birds.
