Lüneburg and the Lüneburg Heath

Lilac blooming heather, with slender juniper trees and birches, the Lüneburg Heath is known and loved all over the world. The beautiful nature reserve "Lüneburg Heath" is a cultural landscape, created by the former salt production in the Lüneburg saltworks. Because by cutting down the forests around Lüneburg for the fire under the brewing pans, the heather areas developed on the bare sandy soil, which continued to develop due to the heather sheep breeding that began at that time. The city of Lüneburg, with its sights and its beautiful old town, has a share in today's "Lüneburg Heath" landscape, which turns into a vast sea of flowers in August. This calendar shows some sights and beauties of Lüneburg and the Lüneburg Heath.
