Undeloh

Welcome to Undeloh, the heart of Lüneburg Heath!

Due to its perfect location as the only community in the middle of the Heath nature reserve, Undeloh is particularly popular and sought after: a starting point for getting to know and experience a unique symbiosis of culture and nature, for exploring the largest contiguous heathland in Central Europe, which surrounds Undeloh.

The vastness and special character of this landscape offer rest, relaxation and tranquillity, as well as many cultural, historical, ecological and gastronomic attractions.

Undeloh is the ideal place for tours through the heathland, to Wilsede Museum Village, to the Wilseder Berg and Totengrund - car-free by coach, bicycle, on foot, or in the saddle.

There is a variety of landscapes to admire, with the characteristic junipers, open ridges, streams, mixed forests and wetlands; so you are invited not only during the spectacular heather blossoming, but in every season.

The community of Undeloh ...

With the districts of Wesel, Wehlen, Meningen, and Thonhof, it totals about 950 inhabitants. Characteristic farmyard oaks, erratic boulder walls, half-timbered courtyards, historic buildings, carriages, and excellent food all contribute to the special feeling of the community. This preserved rural character invites you to stroll and wander, and on the historic village tour visitors can experience much of interest. Explore the place and relax in one of the many cafes and restaurants, enjoy the heath specialties such as the famous buckwheat cake or the unforgettable Heidschnucken roast.
