The Hunger Pohl

Hungerpohl in Undeloh (July 2018)

Until the 1930s there was a “small natural wonder” in Undeloh: a pond east of the village center, which was called “Hungerpohl” because it was completely waterless when it was constantly raining, but “completely clear when it was very dry Water ". In describing the phenomenon in the monograph Das Undeloher Dorfbuch, Reins refers to traditions according to which “ prices would rise when the pond was filled with water. Merchants from Hamburg and Lüneburg are said to have used the water level of the Undeloher Hungepohl when trading in earlier times ”. A full pond had the consequence that the sale of grain had been withheld because the merchants "definitely expected a rise in prices". This natural phenomenon, which has not existed since 1930, was traced back to the sources of the pond, which “only came to light during long periods of drought. The Hungerpohl dried up completely in the wet summer of 1910, while it overflowed several times in the dry summer of 1911. "

Economy and Infrastructure

tourism

Herd of Heidschnucken in the Lüneburg Heath between Undeloh and Wilsede. Crossing the street.

Undeloh is a popular heather excursion destination, especially for the greater Hamburg area. Restaurants and cafés cater for day visitors, and overnight stays are possible in several hotels and the former youth hostel. The Heath Experience Center provides information on the formation of the heather in the Ice Age up to current maintenance measures.

There are several providers of carriage rides in Undeloh. Other providers can be found next to the parking lot on the outskirts on the Wilseder Straße , which is closed to traffic, in the coach parking lot .

Bicycles and e-bikes can be rented in Undeloh.

Guided walking or cycling tours lead to the most beautiful places in Undeloh and the surrounding area or are ideal for healthy hikes in the heath.

Cycling, hiking and riding trails

Several of these paths cross the forest and heather area on the Fahlenberg west of Undeloh (height 80 meters). The respective path markings as well as general signposts with information on distances to the surrounding towns and hamlets facilitate orientation. These are u. a. the European hiking trails E1 and E9 , the cycling trail Bispingen 4 , the Nordic walking trail 165 , the Reitweg Heide-Route , the Freudenthalweg and the Heidschnuckenweg

Seeve cycle path

The Seeve cycle path leading to the Elbe crosses the municipality of Undeloh with its southern ring. At the hiking car park on the northern edge of the Fahlenberg (access only from Wesel in the direction of Wehlen ), an information board indicates the route and sights.

Naturist Path
Information board on the lake cycle path and the naturist path marking

The Undeloh naturist trail was set up by the municipality for nude hiking in nature. Its 10 km long “b” -shaped course is marked with a yellow “N” in both directions from the hikers' car park (see above). The possible "added tourist value for the region" is not realized. There is no reference to the existence of the Naturist Path either on the Undeloh website or in the village. There are also no signs at the driveway, the hiking car park or on the common course or at intersections with the above-mentioned paths. The reason is a corresponding lack of interest on the part of the community. The loop of the naturist path is almost 7 km long. It can also be hiked from the surrounding areas.

The nearby forest area of Süsing , bordering Glüsingen (Betzendorf), offers further nude hiking options . It has been used by nude hikers for decades .

The Naturistenweg is the second facility of its kind after the Harzer Naturistenstieg , but the first and only one in the old federal states. Due to the tranquility and solitude of the Lüneburg Heath, it is no coincidence that he is in the vicinity of the Lichtheideheim Glüsingen and former facilities such as the Sonnenland in Egestorf or the Lichtschulheim Lüneburger Land of the educator Dr. Martin Fränzel in Glüsingen.

Educational trails

In Undeloh and Wesel, these 7.2 and 6.2 km long paths lead through typical parts of the heath cultural landscape.

Public school buses, lines 4611 and 4631, go to the schools in Egestorf, Hanstedt and Buchholz.

Controversy over asylum seekers' accommodation in 2013

At the beginning of 2013, the Harburg district planned to accommodate 29 asylum seekers in Undeloh. The local council rejected this unanimously. In the course of the public debate, among other things, the impairment of the townscape and the resulting danger for tourism and real estate trading through the presence of people with phenotypic characteristics or cultural customs that differ from the locals were cited as arguments, which was also reported in national media. In May 2013, the Harburg district in the neighboring municipality of Hanstedt found a solution that was supported and implemented by the local population.
