A wonderful viewing platform with a fantastic view of the Mecklenbruch raised bog. Various interesting information panels are also present. It's very beautiful in August/September with the blooming heather.

In the Mecklenbruch raised moor, medium peat moss is characteristic, sometimes associated with cotton grass or common cranberry. In the summer months, emerald dragonflies and peat mosaic damselflies appear.

The Mecklenbruch area covered with birch forests and low moor vegetation is approximately 63 hectares in size. Over the last few decades, more and more visitors have been drawn to this pristine landscape. Here you can discover peat mosses, the carnivorous sundew, the cranberry and many other native plant species. Insects such as the arctic emerald dragonfly and the small moss damsel are also native here. So that the raised moor can continue to be visited by many hikers, a wooden footbridge and a viewing tower were built. Climbing the 19 steps of the observation tower is a must when visiting the Mecklenbruch - from here you have a wide view over the treeless area of the inner Mecklenbruch. Information boards provide information about the history and circumstances. In the central area of the wooden boardwalk around the observation tower there is a clear view of the treeless landscape of the inner Mecklenbruch. There is a beautiful view over the water surface of the old peat ditch lined with birch trees, which used to serve as the main peat mining ditch. As part of the renaturation, the old, artificially created moats were closed in order to retain the water that is vital for the moor.
