    Wreath break
    The Kranzbruch is a nature reserve between Simmerath and Konzen.
    Formerly a fens and bog forest area, it was drained and planted with spruces in the 19th century, so that the typical fens vegetation disappeared. A few years ago, the area was renaturalized by closing drainage ditches and removing spruce forests so that the original vegetation could prevail.
