Please check local regulations for: Duvenstedter Brook
Visitors to the Duvenstedter Brook can get an impression of how the spooky moorland forests on the edge of the open areas have been trying to overgrow the moor for millennia. But just as often they fail due to the hostile conditions and the acidic environment of the open bog areas. In this natural "battle zone" between bog and forest live Europe-wide important species such as the crane and the dragonfly "Great Moss". Every year in September, the rut of the deer creates a spectacle with folk festival character. Since the spectacle of the Hirschbrunft can be comfortably experienced right in the city from the path here, the Duvenstedt Triftweg is then similar to the Spitaler Straße during the winter sales.

The hides in the book are worth a visit, even if it is usually quite crowded here during the rut of the red deer. You can also see cranes from here. The Dammweg / Grenzweg is permanently closed to bicycles.
