— Where it is in Winsen

Two locations, one village.

Haus Anna sits right in the village centre — bakery, café, ice cream parlour, restaurants and the tourist office are all within walking distance. Linde 1 lies more quietly on the edge of the village, right by the fields — about a 15-minute walk to the centre.

— By the way

Why Südheide is the better heath.

Most people think of Wilsede and Undeloh — the big tourist spots in the north — when they hear "Lüneburg Heath". We're further south. Quieter. Wider. More authentic.

01
Fewer coaches, more open space.

In the north, tour buses queue up. Here, the heath is yours — you'll meet shepherds with their flocks, not crowds.

02
The Südheide circular trail.

Tietlinger Wacholderheide, Misselhorner Heide, Becklinger Moor — quiet natural areas that even heath connoisseurs often overlook.

03
Two worlds in 15 minutes.

Aller river meadows to the south, blooming heath to the north, old beech forests in between. No other heath region is this varied over such a short distance.

04
Authentic, not curated.

Real villages, working farms, farm shops with their own produce. Not an open-air museum — everyday life you're welcome to share in.

05
Easier to reach.

A7 motorway exit just minutes away, Hanover & Hamburg each around an hour. Celle, Bergen-Belsen and Serengeti-Park are also quickly reached from here.

06
Heather in bloom — without the crowds.

From August to early September, the heath blooms purple here too — just without the search for parking and queues at the entrance.
