    Tips

    September 12, 2023

    A car-free path with excellent asphalt leads through the moor and heath landscape of the Weißes Venn-Geisheide. The Hasenberg (103 m) also features a small climb, which is unexpected for Münsterland 😃🚵

    The Weißes Venn and Geisheide are relics of a typical Münsterland moor and heath landscape, which was originally much more extensive. Peat mining was carried out in the Weißes Venn, a former raised bog, and this was only abandoned in the 1960s.
    After the end of World War II, the British Allies claimed the Weißes Venn and Geisheide for military training purposes. As part of the Haltern military training area, the area served primarily as an infantry live-fire range until May 2015.
    Due to its previous military use and the resulting contamination of the terrain with explosive ordnance, strict path restrictions apply here. Therefore, the designated paths may not be left.

      The name “White Venn” can probably be traced back to the white cotton grass that blooms between March and May, sometimes also in September, and which covered large areas of the raised moor when it was in bloom.

        Beautiful and quiet area, great for hill training! A "must" if you're not in the area often.
