Abstract: We give an exhaustive description of the family of infinite geodesics in the discrete Heisenberg group (with respect to the standard generating set). The classification of infinite geodesics is needed to describe the so-called absolute (exit boundary) of a group. The absolute of the discrete Heisenberg group will be described in a forthcoming paper.

Key words and phrases: discrete Heisenberg group, normal form, absolute, exit-boundary, geodesic.
