Tips

One of two nature reserves near Langen.

The “Kleine Wittefehn”, a natural kolk, which unfortunately has dried up again and again in recent years, with rare plants such as the lung gentian (also called lung gentian).

Scour:

The Kolk, regionally also Kulk, is the name for small water-filled depressions.

On the one hand, there are vortex holes (so-called scouring) on the bottom of current or former flowing waters and on the other hand, lakes in moors. The term is mainly used in the originally Low German-speaking area and overlaps in the meaning with Gumpe, which is more common in the southern German-speaking area and mainly refers to cavities at the foot of waterfalls.
