It has an extension of over 107,000 hectares and comprises the largest contiguous heathland in Central Europe. These are located in the Lüneburger Heide nature reserve around the Wilseder Berg, the heart of the nature park. But also moors, old forests, heath streams, rivers and vital villages with old farms and thatched houses are part of this unique cultural landscape and are well worth seeing.
