      ++ Topic: Here is the second largest heathland complex in the nature reserve of the Teverener Heide: the "Kuhute".

      "...The name suggests that this area was formerly used as a cow pasture. Clearly visible are transverse gullies that were dug for drainage to make the area usable. There is only one open water area. There is a good one from the observation pulpit Overview of the moor complex.In the summer, the "Kuhute” heath moor complex regularly dries up, since the rainwater catchment area has been greatly reduced by the heavy gravel mining. However, the other heath moor complexes are also threatened in dry summers.

      (Heinsberg district (editor): The Teverener Heide nature reserve. - GatzenDruck, Geilenkirchen, p. 22)

      Some of the types of moorland that do not occur in the "Wiggelewak" occur here

      on: The brown beaked reed (Rhynchospora fusca), the German turf bulrush

      (Trichophorum cespitosum ssp. germanicum) and the marsh gentian (Gentiana pneumonanthe). ..."
