A relic from ancient times: The Emsdettener Venn is one of the oldest contiguous raised bogs in the Steinfurt district and boasts a history of around 5,000 years. This information board introduces you to the fascinating world of the raised bog – a habitat characterized by its special climatic conditions and typical, nutrient-poor vegetation such as peat mosses and heather plants. Once extensively used and heavily altered by peat extraction, the now protected areas show how nature regenerates itself in a lengthy process. An exciting stop to understand why this habitat is so unique and worthy of protection.
