    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.

      Very interesting way through the concrete barriers of the former Westwall.

The designation as a nature reserve serves primarily to preserve valuable wetlands as a habitat for several, u. a. according to the red list of endangered plant and animal species in North Rhine-Westphalia.
