The natural features of the countryside in the Südheide nature park are especially suited to riding and a holiday with your horse. Here there are many sandy, natural trails whose tracks are extremely comfortable for horses. The  heathland, moorland and expansive forests ensure a varied, appealing riding terrain – a real eldorado for riders!

The outstanding range of riding tours in the nature park was awarded the ”Horse-Friendly Region 2010“ national prize by the German Equestrian Federation in 2010. Here you will find a perfectly signposted network of some 180 kilometres of riding trails which invite you to undertake long rides in the countryside.

13 signposted circular riding tours with differing lengths which can also be combined with each other lead you through the forests and meadows of the heath past idyllic villages. They start at the designated park and ride areas, which have been designed in such a way that there is enough room for your horsebox trailer, tethering facilities and water. Information boards at the parking areas give details about the tours with helpful tips about the trail conditions and the behaviour of riders particularly in the nature park.
