Nature reserve "Upjever and Sumpfmoor Dose"The area comprises two sub-areas: the Upjever forest, a historic forest site created in the 16th century, and the Sumpfmoor Dose, a partially mined raised bog that has been protected as a nature reserve since 1984. The area contains several biotope types and habitats that are worthy of protection, including woodrush and woodruff beech forests, old oak forests or hornbeam forests, as well as moor forests, quaking moors and extensively managed wet grassland.These habitats are generally at risk, particularly from nutrient input and changes in water levels. The habitats should be kept in a favorable condition through appropriate care and management measures.The NSG serves to protect the FFH areas 184 "Upjever and Sumpfmoor Dose" and 180 "Pond bat habitats in the Wilhelmshaven area".

Very nice paths. The direct route through the forest is the shorter connecting route to some of the nearby villages.
