    The Lengener Meer is a raised bog lake in the municipality of Uplengen in the Leer district in East Frisia, Lower Saxony.

    It is one of the few remaining raised bog lakes in Germany. The almost circular shallow lake, also called the Moorauge or Kolk, is only 0.80 meters deep and covers 22 hectares. It lies in the middle of the former nature reserve (NSG) "Lengener Meer", a remaining raised bog that has more or less degenerated through drainage but is still partially growing. The former nature reserve has an area of 240 hectares and was part of the 1414 hectare FFH area "Lengener Meer, Stapeler Moor, Baasenmeers-Moor". On September 1, 2016, it was incorporated into the newly designated nature reserve "Stapeler Moor and surroundings".

      Location

      The former nature reserve "Lengener Meer" and the former nature reserve "Stapeler Moor" (Leer district) form a connected complex with the former nature reserve "Spolsener Moor" (Friesland district), which has been completely absorbed into the nature reserve "Stapeler Moor and Surroundings". This is located in northwestern Lower Saxony, about twelve kilometers northwest of the town of Westerstede in the municipality of Uplengen. It belongs to the natural unit of the "East Frisian Central Raised Moors" and, together with the now isolated former Herrenmoor nature reserve and the Neudorfer Moor nature reserve, to the northern part of the Lengener Moor sub-unit. The remains of the moor lie in the apex of the "Oldenburg-East Frisian Geest Ridge" on the watershed between the Jade Bay and the Ems. The series of raised bogs that formed here after the last ice age largely follows old meltwater channels.

        The lookout is visibly showing its age and needs maintenance but is still stable and the all-round view is very good
