The magic of the heather bloom
All you need to know about the heather bloom on Lueneburg Heath
Lueneburg Heath, Europe's largest interconnected heath area, offers a natural landscape that is without comparison in Central Europe. The unique charm of the Lueneburg Heath landscape comes into its own when the heather blooms in August and September. The vibrant purple of millions of blooms interspersed with the luscious green of juniper bushes and spruce trees and the silvery-white of the birch trees immerse the entire region in a blaze of color.
When does the heather bloom?
The heather (Calluna vulgaris) blooms from the beginning of August until mid-September if climatic conditions are evenly balanced. An old 'heathen' rule of thumb says "The heather blooms from 08.08. to 09.09. every year!" You can keep an eye on the current stage of the heather bloom with our Heather Blooming Barometer. We keep track of each phase of the bloom from July to September and publish new photos in the Heather Bloom Barometer on our website nearly every day.

Beautiful area. Reminds me a little of the rolling hills in New Mexico.
AntwortenLöschenOh wie schön diese Landschaft ist! Und die Farbe des Himmels passt doch perfekt zum blühenden Heidekraut?
