They care for the moor where no machines come. With 600 to 700 animals, the shepherd goes from April to October in the Oppenweher moor and thus keeps the core of the moor of emerging woody vegetation free.

With a bit of luck you can see the flock of sheep that take care of the landscape here.

Actually, sheep are not perfect for the moor. They sink into the peat with their small hooves and get into trouble because their claws don't wear out enough on the soft ground.
However, large parts of the Oppenweher moor landscape are no longer original moors, but a savannah-like cultural landscape, similar to the heath, created by drainage and peat cutting. As a result, the conditions for sheep are better.

Wide panoramic views of the landscape are often and well possible on our hike. Good to clear your head.
