    The small nature reserve is a raised bog with bodies of water and moor birches. Important when visiting this landscape: Endangered animals such as the moor frog also live in the Fürstenkuhle. So keep on the paths and experience this beautiful nature with respect!

    Hiking

    The Fürstenkuhle is a nature reserve of about 100 hectares. Through the area leads a narrow path. In the center there is a heather, which you can walk along a landscaped boardwalk.
    The Fürstenkuhle is home to a significant moor frog population. The males are often bright blue during the mating season.
    Incidentally, the name Fürstenkuhle goes back to the Low German word Voskenkuhle = Fuchsloch, so it has nothing to do with princes.

    A great piece of nature, which may only be discovered on foot. But the small detour is worthwhile: The Fürstenkuhle is a high moorland remnant with a central, surrounded by Bruchwald, large heather. In places, typical bog vegetation has been preserved. The forest area is surrounded by extensively used grassland and wet meadows with some man-made shades, which are visited by resting and breeding birds. The flora and fauna of the heath host and its surroundings are considered unique in North Rhine-Westphalia. [Source: Wikipedia]
