On day 23 of our tour around the Top 100 sights in Germany we make our way to the broad expanses of the Lüneburg Heath in Lower Saxony. One of the most famous regions of Europe, it reveals its true splendour when the heath blossoms in late summer. Two nature reserves and a car-free conservation area help to protect the unspoilt natural beauty of this unique landscape.
