For those who want to experience nature with all their senses, the Barefoot Park Egestorf is the perfect place. Located about 50 kilometers south of Hamburg, in the heart of the Lüneburg Heath, the largest barefoot park in Northern Germany invites visitors on a very special discovery tour. Here, it's literally about going over hill and dale – barefoot.
On a trail of approximately 2.7 km, around 60 experience stations await exploration. Visitors walk over mud, grass, gravel, wooden planks, tree bark, or glass beads, feeling how diverse nature can be under their feet. Additionally, there are special highlights such as:
Salt Room with healing salt air
Yoga Forest with nine stations for relaxation and balance
Scent and Touch Boxes as well as a herb garden with about 40 fragrances
Buzzing Stones, Tree Phone & Sound Woods for acoustic sensory experiences
Moor Paths and Streams for an intense barefoot feeling
Observation Tower, from which you can overlook the park
The park is designed so that shoes can be safely stored, and at the end of the tour, cleaning stations with water, brushes, and hoses are available.
Season 2025: open until September 30, 2025
Daily: Ticket counter 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, park entry until 5:00 PM
