B&B Hotel Marie Luise, Bad Bevensen, Lueneburg Heath, free access to the iodine-saline spa. Lueneburger Heide (Lueneburg Heath), a large heath and woodland region covering nearly 775 sq. km, is located between Hamburg, Bremen and Hanover. The sandy soil is mainly covered with brush and heather, although there are a few oak and beech forests in the northern valleys [more on Frommer's]. Toward late summer, the flowering heath turns from green to purple; August and September are the most beautiful months. The "Heide" is one of the most attractive holiday regions in Northern Germany: it offers many discoveries for nature lovers, in particular, there are many cycling and mountain bike tracks. On the other hand, there are some of Europe's most prominent amusement and adventure parks, all close together: Heide Park, Walsrode Bird Park and Serengeti Park. Bad Bevensen, where our Hotel-Pension Marie Luise is located, is a well known spa town, a one hour's drive southeast of Hamburg. The spa center offers a variety of health resort services and local therapies, with its iodine-saline spa water. In Bad Bevensen, you can do lots of things, especially in summer when numerous events for vacationers and spa visitors take place. However the "Jod-Sole-Therme" is definitely Bad Bevensen prime attraction. Therefore, Marie Luise partners with the Bad Bevensen's spa to offer free admission to all spa facilities during your stay. You can use all the thermal baths, pools and wellness facilities, eight saunas including a herbal sauna and a sauna garden at no extra charge.
