Between Uelzen and Munster in the long stretched Gerdau valley, near the village Eimke, is the Ellendorfer Juniper-heathland situated. One of the last intact heathland areas in our region.
During the heathland blossom, in the months mid-August to mid-September, the whole heather area is covered with a violet carpet and attracts many guests and holiday makers into the region. One can undertake long walks and bicycle tours. One can also watch the shepherd with his German Gray Heath herds who walks the heathland during the blossom time.
