    Beautiful to see when the heather blooms
    Translated by
    At 440 hectares, Moosheide is the largest nature reserve in the Senne region. The alternation of dunes and valleys, open heathlands and pine forests makes the nature reserve an oasis in everyday life. Those who relax here experience a feast for the senses, and not just in August and September when the heather shines in its typical purple-red. The Ems also rises here. In the approximately 500 m long spring area, the water seeps out of the ground in numerous places. On its 371 km long journey to the North Sea, the Ems flows for 10 km through Hövelhof.
