The large peat bog in the area of Lübbecke and Hille is the only raised bog in the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is located directly in the north of the Wiehengebirge and extends over an area of 467 hectares. Characteristic of the damp moor are the small, dark ponds, the heather plants, high observation towers and small birch groves. The moor is a special ecosystem that you can explore on several hiking trails.

+++ I was particularly impressed by the Moorschnucken. These serve to protect the moor, similar to the sheep in the north to protect the dyke.
+++You are near P6 (car park 6) at the south tower.

+++The moor is characterized by 3 hiking trails, which are marked on posts in blue, red and yellow.
+++2, 2.5 and 7.5 km long paths await visitors.
+++ Sufficient notice and information boards make the moor a very interesting place for excursions for young and old, i.e. also for families with children.
