What to expect
The Wilseder Berg is the highest elevation in the Lüneburger Heide and the Heidekreis, with a height of 169.2 meters above sea level. It is an end moraine from the Saale Ice Age and features a large plateau and a flat summit. The area surrounding the hill is characterized by heathlands, sand flats, and pine forests, and is home to a variety of flora and fauna. The hill is also the source of several streams, including the Este, Luhe, Wümme, and Böhme rivers. Visitors can explore the area and enjoy the scenic views from the top of the hill, which is marked by a metal cone called the 'Gauß-Säule' that provides information about the surrounding landscape

Lüneburg Heath: Bike tour to Wilseder Berg
Activities: We explored the Lüneburg Heath by bike, aiming for Wilseder Berg. "The last few meters up the mountain it gets very steep. People with high athletic ambition manage to get to the top even with a trailer. Moderate cyclists without an e-bike (me) just push a bit."
Highlights: The view from the top of Wilseder Berg was "exceptionally pretty". Despite the crowds, the area was quite manageable. It was flexible and faster to explore the area by bike instead of walking. The children weren't the main focus, but it was still enjoyable ✨
