Burgdorf: Segelfluggelände Großes Moor

About location

Segelfluggelände Großes Moor lies along the Burgdorfer Aue valley, where level grassland and woodland belong to the broad North German Plain. This rural airfield near Burgdorf is dedicated to gliding, with an open grass operating area set against a continuous tree line. Its setting reflects the low, spacious terrain of Lower Saxony, where farmland, forest and former moorland occur side by side. Gliding uses engineless aircraft launched by winch or aerotow, making unobstructed ground an essential part of the site. Burgdorf, south of the field, is a Lower Saxon town with a castle whose origins date to the 13th century.

The Weser crosses the state on its way to the North Sea, while the Elbe marks much of its northeastern border. Inland, the Lüneburg Heath is associated with heather moorland and long-standing sheep farming. Hanover, the state capital, is known for the Herrenhausen Gardens, whose Great Garden is a major baroque ensemble.

Germany
Country Germany

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
