    At this point you will find an information board and you can look at the heath behind it.

      Formation of the heather 1540-1843

      "The population growth of the early modern period led to the overuse of the Dingdener Mark.

      So much wood and humus was removed from the forests that they gradually turned into treeless heather. Here the heather was "revived" in an area of around nine hectares with similar measures. Keep grazing sheep and goats

      she has been in shape since then. In August, the blooming heather becomes a pasture for bees and a feast for the eyes for visitors. "

        Very beautiful, quiet place.👍

        I have to admit that I had to look a little closer and for longer here because I had imagined the "typical" heath to be different.

        But the "journey through time" project is not yet finished. It is constantly evolving. The goal is that at some point you will be able to clearly see the individual "windows of time" next to each other. And that takes time.

        Quote from the sponsor Wendelin Haverkamp on the occasion of the opening of the "Zum Schießstand" viewing platform:

        "...the project is intended to show us how many faces nature has had here over the course of history, and how humans have changed it and what they have done right or wrong in the process..."
