    The Hohes Venn family forest is located on the edge of the Steinley Venn:

    Coordinates: N50° 36.125 E6° 14.055

    In the spring of 2008, the Eifelverein OG Konzen took over the sponsorship for a piece of fen and forest about one hectare in size. This includes constant care measures, so that the typical and characteristic Venn vegetation can develop. In addition to the trees and shrubs that naturally grow there, such as spruce, pine, birch, willow, forest and bog berries, typical Eifel plants and wood such as common beech and hornbeam, wild apple, mountain ash and service tree were planted.

    All trees and bushes together form a teaching forest and a nature trail, they are marked and signposted accordingly. A biotope was also created - a moor pond, also characteristic of the High Fens. Access to this piece of forest and fen in Konzen on Belgian territory, directly in front of the "entrance" to the well-known Steinley-Fen, is possible at any time and is also free of charge.

      Very nice place for a rest. Several benches and tables, as well as the spacious shelter invite you to linger.
      The Hohes Venn family forest was opened with a celebration on May 9th, 2009. Around 300 children and adults came on "Europe Day" to celebrate, to experience and explore the family forest.
      My respect goes here in particular to the members of the Eifelverein OG Konzen, the Konzen family center and the Elsenborn forestry office, who strive to preserve and care for this beautiful facility.
