"The Neuschwanstein of the North ..."
There is a lot to admire and marvel at in the 23 hectare landscape park: the hunting villa originally built for the royal Prussian councilor Ernst Nölle, a “philosophical baroque iron park”, an ark, a Prussian pavilion, the “mountain of collecting passions Montagnetto” and much more. The landscape park is constantly being expanded. Visit with a guide. Open all year.
"Ole Kerk" Bispingen was built in 1353, making it the oldest church in the old district of Soltau. The builder was the Bishop of Verden, and he promised 40 days indulgences to anyone who did manual and tensioning services during the construction. The area was poor, so field stones and half-timbered buildings were used. Bricks were too expensive. The stone church, the old half-timbered rectory and the community center form an impressive ensemble with the new rectory and the old trees.

Living in the heath around 1850, man and landscape from earlier days
In the middle of the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park in Wilsede you will find the old heath museum "Dat ole Huus", built in 1907. Together with the neighboring exhibition sheepfold on the »Emhoff«, there is impressive and comprehensive information about the landscape and rural pasture life around 1850. There is no chimney in one of the oldest farmhouses on the Lüneburg Heath. The cooking took place over the open hearth fire. Man and cattle lived under one roof.
The German Tank Museum is located in Munster, only around 20 minutes by car from Bispingen. On an area of around 10,000 square meters, the tank museum shows 150 large equipment: tanks, artillery and vehicles - from 1917 to the present day. There are also many other exhibits such as uniforms, medals, weapons, unarmored vehicles, radios and military toys. Outside, the M48 (Patton II) type tank, which can be entered, authentically conveys the feeling of tightness in the tank and the importance of the crew working together. The museum has high standards. It should definitely be a place of lively controversy and discussion. The exhibition is by no means glorifying war, but has changed over the past few years from a pure technology show to a museum that sheds a critical light on military history.
The felt world Soltau is an education and experience center on the subject of felt - a cultural and historical lighthouse that connects culture and science.
