The moors of the High Fens are peppered with thick and velvety moss pillows and desks. Responsible for this is the peat moss, a small, primitive spore plant that loves the humid, nutrient-poor conditions. Over time, a thick layer of dead plant material forms, which, enclosed airtight in standing water, condenses into peat over the centuries. There are also common heather, bell heather, sour grass, rushes and sedges. The fact that nature takes a year for a millimeter of peat explains the wasteful use of time by raised bogs.

The lizards like to sunbathe on the wooden walkways. If you cautiously tread the wooden walkways in the midday sun and watch the path in front of you, you will certainly see some or get in front of the lens.

Right from the start, the flora of the Brackvenn presents itself in a wide variety of colors, especially in autumn. A little foretaste of what awaits us.
