Winsen (Aller)
Winsen (Aller) is one of the most beautiful places in Lueneburg Heath and is close to the old ducal town Celle. Modern, open-minded and yet peaceful and dreamy, this heath town with its 7 districts and decades of experience in the tourism sector is definitely worth a visit.
Those who wish to take a step back from the hectic of everyday life and are
seeking relaxation will find ideal conditions here. Forests touching the
outskirts of the town, heath lands, charming, entwined creeks, heather
moorlands with their unique flora and a landscape dotted with lakes call for
some easy hiking and relaxation. Refined hospitality and good accommodation are
a matter of course for us, as well as a large variety of culinary specialities
for gourmets.
Even though relaxing peace and quiet has priority in our range of offers, there
are still plenty of opportunities for diversion and activities for our guests.
All visitors can shape their holiday or short stay according to individual
taste. Friendly hosts are always happy to advise.
Here some examples for possible activities:

unique charm. There is nothing better than experiencing
this landscape. By horse carriage through the moor or
by boat on the Aller. Inviting places welcome you to rest.
It goes without saying that one can also celebrate in
