Recker Moor Nature Reserve The Recker Moor Nature Reserve offers a unique nature experience. Originating around 6,000 BC, the Recker Moor is one of the last living raised bogs in Germany. Two observation towers provide a good overview of the 344-hectare site. Information panels provide interesting facts about the bog, which provides a habitat for many rare plants and animals. Visitors can explore the unique landscape on a circular hiking trail. The open water sources (peat cuttings) serve as breeding grounds for moor frogs and rare dragonflies. Smooth snakes hunt lizards and voles on the dry heather patches. Plant species adapted to the extreme living conditions here grow in the bog, such as sphagnum moss, cotton grass, rosemary heath, and sundew.

A nice place to shelter in bad weather.

Great landscape 👍

The Recker Moor is a 3.45 km² nature reserve in the Tecklenburger Land region, northeast of Recke, in the Langenacker farming community. Together with the Mettinger Moor, it forms the FFH area "Mettinger and Recker Moor" (FHH area number 3612-301, area approximately 426 ha). It is one of the best-preserved moor areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. The "Recker Moor" nature reserve is a remnant of the former approximately 50 km² "Vinter Moor," which began developing into a raised bog around 5,000 years ago. Peat extraction, drainage, and agricultural use led to the almost complete disappearance of the bog, which was up to 3 m deep, before the Recker section was declared a nature reserve in 1971. The immediately adjacent Mettinger Moor followed in 1986. The Recker Moor still contains the original raised bog vegetation, where peat growth has resumed, while the Mettinger Moor consists largely of wet meadows and downy birch forest. The area provides a habitat for a variety of plant and bird species, including many endangered species such as teal, snipe, black-tailed godwit, curlew, yellow wagtail, and whinchat. Among the nine native sphagnum moss species, the extremely rare soft sphagnum (Sphagnum molle) is said to be found. The nature reserve is part of the "Düsterdieker Niederung" EU bird sanctuary.

You can also see the wildlife very well from this observation tower. Very helpful for observing flora and fauna in peace without being seen yourself.

One of at least two observation towers in the Recker Moor. The Recker Moor is well worth a visit; there's so much to discover here, so be sure to allow yourself some time. A very beautiful highlight.

Here begins another "place of peace." Apart from a cuckoo, we heard almost nothing. Instead, we heard the many yellow dandelion blossoms in the meadows.
