Well as the name says it, it is _in the region of Lüneburg_ but a bit far from Lüneburg itself. Like 1h in a car. The best moment to visit the Lüneburger Heide is definitely by the end of summer (or mid summer also) so you can see all the Heide plants in full bloom.
They have a pink tone, almost purple like lavender but brighter and they don’t smell (or if they do we could not feel it in that moment) but they do attract bees! This makes us really happy, as bees are usually in trouble of getting enough food, specially when time starts getting colder, and thankfully the Heide is a really cold-resistant plant.
Around 9000 Moorland sheeps get in the Heide annually to keep the birch trees and pines at bay, they also keep the Heide (or heather) at a lenght ideal for it to grow new sprouts and flower more. So long story short, the sheeps make community service in the Lüneburger Heide keeping the species of plants there at their best 🙂
