Germany Heathlands at Westruper Heide
A small but awesome heathland near to "Haltern am See".
Photography Tips
You have to go there in late summer and wait for the fog in morning! Be there at least about half an hour before sunrise so that you have the time to find your perfect spot, because you won't have the time to run around as soon as the sun rises.
Travel Information
You can go by car which is convenient if you want to shoot the heather in bloom at sunrise.
But you can also go via public transportation. Haltern Station is close by. From there a bus goes very close to the heath/forest and stops in front of a hotel. This station is but a few minutes from the heath/forest entry. This bus stop is also right next to the lake which is nice for photos as well and you can do a boat trip from there.
