    In the Dingden Heath there is both dry heath and wet heath

      How does a wet heath develop?
      The clay layer in the soil prevents rainwater from draining away and waterlogging occurs. This also means that the plants do not have direct access to groundwater. As a result, the soil is often sandy and contains little lime and nutrients. Only special plants (such as heather, rushes) and animals (such as sheep, goats, Hinterwälder cattle) can cope with it.

        Through overuse, humans also contributed to the development of a heathland here. Due to too much deforestation and the removal of humus (humus for the fields), the landscape gradually turned into a treeless heathland.
