Stage 3 of the "Pastor-Boder-Weg" long-distance hiking trail, Lower Saxony.
The 44 km long Pastor-Bode-Weg leads once through the Lüneburg Heath, from the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg to the Wilseder Berg. The third and last stage of the long-distance hiking trail starts in Egestorf. From here it goes through the heart of the Lüneburg Heath to Wilseder Berg, where the Pastor-Bode-Weg ends. Thatched farmsteads, an old heather village, the unique landscapes of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve and of course the views from the almost 170 m high Wilseder Berg - a hike through the Lüneburg Heath can hardly be more beautiful than this rather short route.
Highlights of the hike:
- Schmale Aue
- old hut forest areas
- Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve
- Heidedorf Wilsede
- Wilseder Berg (highest point on the Lüneburg Heath)
- Totengrund ("Dead Ground")
