Bockelmann's Sheep Barn

Highlight • Monument

Shortly after the heather areas were linked in 1870/1871, which have been owned by Hof Bockelmann since then, this sheepfold was built. The sheepfold is now a monument and was renovated in 1999.

Shelter by the Seeve

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A dreamy section on the Heidschnuckenweg along the Seeve. No heath, but romantic forest roads and a very nice round shelter.

The Pastor-Bode-Weg is an idyllic heath path, which is characterized by beautiful, wide views over the heath. The path is named in memory of Wilhelm Bode, who made a great contribution to the Lüneburg Heath.

March 17, 2026, Beehive Shelter and Stamping Point, Naturpark Lüneburger Heide

The small shelter is modeled after a historic beehive... inside, a historic beehive illustrates a bee colony and its individual inhabitants... right next to the shelter, you can also get the corresponding stamp for your hiking pass.

On the way to or from Wilseder Berg, you'll pass this beehive and learn about bees and their honey from the heath. There's also a stamping station here.

Since the 1870s, every heath farm has had heathland, its own herd of sheep and its own beekeeping. The Bockelmann farm's sheep barn served as a summer barn at the time - the surrounding heathland was grazed from here. The farm's herd of Heidschnucke sheep existed until 1972, as one of the last farms - keeping Heidschnucke sheep became uneconomical. For decades, the sheep barn that "survived" has been a popular photo motif for postcards and photo reports, and is also a listed building. The barn is clearly too small for today's large Heidschnucke herds of the Nature Conservation Park Association (up to 1000 animals) - it is therefore only used as a shelter for agricultural machinery.

From Brockel, the cycle path that was built in the 1980s on the old railway line goes via Bretel to Wittorf. From Wittorf, you can reach Visselhövede directly via the cycle path on the B440. There is a brand new connection from Sandhasenweg, the inner-city cycle path in Rotenburg, mostly on the old railway line towards Visselhövede, to the brand new Fidi-Boon-Wech via Hemsbünde to Brockel. This is the cycle path on the old railway line Rotenburg - Brockel. All in all, a great connection. Fast and interesting and of course it also works the other way round.

An ideal corner for a rest. There is a beautifully manicured lawn, benches and a weather shelter. A few information boards then even explain the history of this place.
