Hiking

The area surrounding the recreational community of Niederkrüchten is characterized by enchanting peat and heathland landscapes and vast forests. One of these is the Elmpter Wald – home to FriedWald Niederkrüchten. Approximately 50 hectares of this woodland are available for burials under trees. People can find their final resting place there under red oaks, beeches, and scattered oaks. The ashes of the deceased are buried in biodegradable urns.
