The geographical location of Neuenkirchen is particularly attractive: it is in the middle of the Lüneburg Heath, one of the largest contiguous heath areas in Europe. Here, visitors can go on kilometre-long hikes through the picturesque landscapes or go exploring by bike.

One of Neuenkirchen's best-known sights is the "Böhme" nature reserve, which stretches for several kilometres and is home to numerous rare animal and plant species. The open-air museum "Museumsdorf Hösseringen" is also worth a visit: historical buildings from various regions of northern Germany are presented here on extensive grounds.

Cultural highlights can also be discovered: Fallingbostel Castle impresses with its baroque architecture and adjacent park. Near the castle you will also find the "Heidewitzka" sculpture park, where contemporary works of art are presented in harmony with nature.

For culinary delights, you should definitely try the regional specialities: These include, for example, kale with spelt, roast Heidschnucken or the traditional "Heidjerschnack". You can enjoy these delicacies in the numerous farm shops and restaurants in the region.

For those who want to be active, Neuenkirchen also offers many opportunities: In summer, the numerous bathing lakes invite you to swim. In winter, on the other hand, there is cross-country skiing and snow hiking.

    Sehr schöner Weg für Kinder, auch wenn die Kraft unseres 6-Jährigen am Ende nachließ. Die meisten Stationen haben wir tatsächlich auch gefunden. Der Weg war bequem zu gehen, und die Strecken im Wald waren bei dem sonnigen und warmen Wetter sehr angenehm. Leider war die faszinierende Spiegel-Installation am Anfang des Weges schon ein wenig heruntergekommen.
