Let \((X,\rho)\) be a space with an inner metric \(\rho\) and let \(\text{Int}\) denote the class of inner metrics. If the Hausdorff dimension of \(X\) is equal to \(m\) then there exists a non-trivial m-dimensional Hausdorff measure \(\mathcal H_\rho^m\) on \(X\) generated by the inner metric \(\rho\). The systolic constant \(\sigma(X,\rho)\) in the metric \(\rho\) is defined by the formula \[ \sigma(X,\rho)=\frac{\mathcal H_\rho^m(X,\rho)}{\text{sys}(X,\rho)^m} \] where \(\text{sys}(X,\rho)\) is the smallest length of homotopy nontrivial closed loops on \(X\). Let \(\sigma(X)\) be \(\inf_{\rho\in\text{Int}}\sigma(X,\rho)\). In the present paper the author considers nilmanifolds \[ N_{2n+1}=H_{2n+1}/G \] where \(H_{2n+1}\) is the (higher) Heisenberg group and \(G\subset H_{2n+1}\) is a uniform lattice [see \textit{A. I. Maltsev}, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 13, 9--32 (1949; Zbl 0034.01701)]. Lower and upper estimates for systolic constants \(\sigma(N_3)\) and \(\sigma(N_{2n+1},\rho)\) for \(n>1\) with Carnot-Carathéodory metric \(\rho\) are given.
