Lüneburg Heath
The Lüneburg Heath (German: Lüneburger Heide) is a region in Lower Saxony in Germany. It covers the area between the cities of Hamburg, Hanover and Bremen. Low Saxon is still widely spoken in the region.
The region is covered by a heathland landscape. The landscape originated in medieval times when forests were cleared for firewood for salt production in Lüneburg. The highest elevation is the Wilseder Berg with an elevation of 169.2 m above sea level.
