Vandring

The Teverener Heide impresses with a changing picture of heath, moor and forest. Visitors will also find numerous lakes there that were created by the mining of sand and clay in the 20th century. The heath offers a good habitat for many plants and animal species, some of which are rare, including smooth snakes, woodlarks, around 40 species of dragonflies, blue-winged grasshoppers and sundews.

Vandring

In the heart of the Teverener Heide lies a beautiful cottongrass bog, an open, wet area where white cottongrass dances in the wind like a rolling sea of silk. In spring and summer, it creates an enchanting spectacle: thousands of white tufts gently sway across the bog while dragonflies and butterflies glide among the stems.

The cottongrass bog is a valuable nature reserve where damp heather moss and peat alternate. It is home to a rich biodiversity and reflects the delicate balance of these unique heathland landscapes.
