Eastern Observation Tower at Aper Tief

The eastern one of the viewing platformsThe nature reserve with the sign NSG WE 221 is 75 hectares in size. It has been a nature reserve since December 17, 1994. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the district of Ammerland.
The nature reserve is located south of the Aper Tief between the villages of Apen and Augustfehn in the municipality of Apen in the district of Ammerland. It is bounded in the east by Kreisstraße 120 and in the west by the Norderloher Canal. In the south of the nature reserve is the dike of the Aper Tief, which was moved in 2005 from the bank of the valley to a road running south of it. Before the dyke line was relocated, there was grassland and wet meadows here, which were criss-crossed by oxbow lakes from the Aper Tief. The grassland was mainly used for mowing. After the dyke line has been relocated, the areas between the Aper Tief and the dyke are subject to the natural flow dynamics and are partially flooded when the tide is high.

Wonderful view, you even have a nice view of the Hengstforder Mühle!

From here you also have a very good view of the Aper Tief👍😃🚲 nature reserve
