The Eyendorfer windmill was built in 1897 and the last time it was carefully renovated in 2019. Contrary to their original use, couples in love today have the opportunity to say "yes" at this unusual location. The "Association for the Conservation of the Eyendorfer Windmill" also offers guided tours of the mill by prior arrangement.

The Oldendorf Totenstatt (about 1.5 kilometers from the town center located) is one of the most interesting stone tombs of the district Lüneburg and a real attraction. You should definitely visit this landmark of the Lüneburg Heath.

Here are sites from almost all pre- and protohistoric eras united in one place.
From the last century comes the first site plan of the Oldendorf Totenstatt with the corresponding numbering of the graves, which has been maintained until today. F. Laux, the excavator of the dead place, had created a connection with the pottery finds and the corresponding design of the megalithic tombs, which enabled him to recognize a chronological sequence. For this reason, the graves are listed chronologically.

The burial mounds in and around the dead place belong to the later Neolithic and Bronze Age, but most are not (yet) studied. The same applies to 2 urn cemeteries of the pre-Roman Iron Age and the time of the migrations, as well as various sites of the early and middle Stone Age. Obviously, the site of the dead place has always been a popular place.
The finds that were found in the tombs of the funerary can be seen in the Archaeological Museum Oldendorf / Luhe (Amelinghausener Str. 16b). There you will also find the permanent position "Apartments for all eternity - 5700 years Oldendorf Totenstatt".

Lopau Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Cross the bridge over the Lopau. A tranquil place. Going out from the dead place, you can return south of the Lopau on the second bridge back to the main path to Kronsbergheide. Straight ahead you come to Lopausee.

Hippolit Church Amelinghausen

Highlight • Religious Site

The municipality of Amelinghausen is located in one of the oldest, best-known and most beautiful cultural landscapes in Germany, the Lüneburg Heath

Just under 20 minutes by car from Lüneburg, you can admire the heath in its most beautiful form. Of course, the landscape is most beautiful when the heather is in bloom. Heidjer's rule of thumb says: The heather blooms from August 8th to September 9th!

Other sights: Oldendorfer Totenstatt (large stone graves); The many juniper bushes typical of the heath have given the Rehrhofer Heide the nickname “juniper paradise”. Other heathland areas are quiet and idyllic retreats – like the Marxener Paradies. The Schwindebecker Heide, with the adjacent Schwindequelle, is definitely also worth a visit.

Amelinghausen still has an old fire station, post office and a lot more to offer. He who seeks finds :-)
