Heidschnucken Trail

You set off through a picture-book heathland landscape. The trail leads through the hilly Fischbeker Heide, sometimes uphill, then downhill. At the state border between Hamburg and Lower Saxony, the trail enters the dark mixed forest, descends steeply into a hollow and then climbs up again. Past Tempelberg and the Karlstein, a large boulder in the shady beech forest, you walk to Langenrehm, the first typical heath village along the way. Continuing through the forest and over hills, pretty forest edge paths lead you to Steinbeck, a suburb of Buchholz. If you have enough time: It's worth making a detour to the historic windmill in Dibbersen first.
