Most people, when traveling
to Germany from other countries, will go to Bavaria which certainly is worth
the trip. As a matter of fact, southern
Germany in general seems to have more appeal to foreign travelers than the rest
of the country. Yet other areas have a
distinct charm of their own.
One such area is the
Lüneburger Heide, Lüneburg Heath or Lunenburg Heath in English. It is a large area of heath, geest and
woodland in northeastern part of the state of Lower Saxony in northern Germany.
It forms part of the hinterland for the
cities of Hamburg, Hanover, and Bremen and is named after the town of Lüneburg.
Most of the area is a nature reserve.
The remaining areas of heath
are kept clear mainly through grazing, especially by a North German breed of
moorland sheep called the Heidschnucke. Due to its unique landscape, the
Lüneburg Heath is a popular tourist destination in North Germany.
Following is a series of
photographs taken by Marlies Amling of Foto Amling in Weilburg, Germany. Weilburg is less than 10 miles from Solms,
the headquarter of Leica Camera AG. All
photographs were taken with Leica R4 equipment and a variety of Leica lenses.
