The Röders Heide is part of the nature reserve between Soltau and Bipingen. British troops used to practice tank driving here. The traces can sometimes still be seen. Sand, heather, pine and birch are typical. Juniper can hardly be seen. Birch lovers can rejoice. The Heidschnuckenweg (stage 6) runs through here. From the Kreuzberg (114 m) you have a beautiful view. The Heideperle "Timmerloher Linden-Allee" and a historic sheepfold are just around the corner.
