Birdwatching Tower in Recker Moor

One of at least two observation towers in the Recker Moor.
The Recker Moor is well worth a visit; there's so much to discover here, so be sure to allow yourself some time.
A very beautiful highlight.

Recker Moor Nature Reserve
The Recker Moor Nature Reserve offers a unique nature experience. Originating around 6,000 BC, the Recker Moor is one of the last living raised bogs in Germany. Two observation towers provide a good overview of the 344-hectare site. Information panels provide interesting facts about the bog, which provides a habitat for many rare plants and animals. Visitors can explore the unique landscape on a circular hiking trail.The open water sources (peat cuttings) serve as breeding grounds for moor frogs and rare dragonflies. Smooth snakes hunt lizards and voles on the dry heather patches. Plant species adapted to the extreme living conditions here grow in the bog, such as sphagnum moss, cotton grass, rosemary heath, and sundew.
