Jakobsweg Flensburg - Cologne - part 1 from Krusau (DK) to Osnabrück
The Jakobsweg from the Danish border to Osnabrück follows in the first section the Via Jutlandica (west branch) and the Via Baltica from Harsefeld. Many sections of the Via Jutlandica are identical with the old Ochsenweg. More information can be found on my blog at "http://gerhard.mlq.me". The individual daily stages represent my personal route selection, which sometimes differs from the "official" marking. Have a good journey! Buen Camino!

Impressive tour on the romantic Luhe hiking trailThe Luhe sets the direction for this hike. It springs from the heart of the Lüneburg Heath and flows into the Ilmenau, but only shortly before its confluence with the Elbe. Among anglers, it is known for its rich stock of salmon and sea trout. The tour initially leads eastwards to the riding village of Luhmühlen and then northwards parallel to the Luhe on very beautiful, varied sections of the trail to Luhdorf and ends in the district town of Winsen (Luhe).
The special feature of Harsefeld lies in its picturesque surroundings. From rolling hills to dense forests, there are a variety of landscapes to discover here. This varied topography makes hiking a real pleasure.
For tourists, there are many places worth seeing during a hike in Harsefeld. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the Harsefeld Monastery, a historic building dating back to the 12th century with impressive architecture and a rich history. A visit to this cultural heritage should not be missed on any hiking route.
Another popular attraction is the fruit nature trail in the Alte Land, known for its blossoming orchards and the smell of fresh fruit. Here you can not only enjoy the beauty of nature, but also learn more about the local fruit-growing industry.
When it comes to the best seasons for hiking, spring and autumn are highly recommended. In spring, the entire region is ablaze with colour thanks to the sea of blossoms on the apple trees in the Alte Land. Autumn, on the other hand, transforms the landscape into a true spectacle of colour with golden leaves on the trees.
There are many places in Harsefeld where you can go hiking. The Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park offers a variety of hiking trails through dense forests and past idyllic lakes. Here you can enjoy the tranquillity of nature and perhaps even be lucky enough to spot some wild animals.
For families with children, the barefoot path in the woodland area "Hinter den Höfen" is an absolute highlight. This specially constructed path allows children (and adults) to take off their shoes and walk barefoot over different surfaces such as sand, gravel or moss. A fun activity for the whole family!
In summary, Harsefeld is a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts. With its geographical location, tourist-relevant sights and a variety of hiking routes, this charming municipality offers everything you need for an unforgettable outing in nature. Whether alone or with the family - everyone will find their perfect hiking tour here!
