Moorland area, with lots of explanations about the moor, the plants and the animals. You should walk through it at least once.

Beautiful rest hut

The "Klön-Eck" in Markhausen was built by local residents (and is also looked after by them) and is a really great thing! As a shelter, it is weatherproof on three sides and under the projecting roof there is seating from spring to autumn (there are some inside too). So if you are a cyclist passing by here and need protection from the weather, this is the place to be, especially as your bike can fit in too. Basically, the Plate shop is opposite, it is open from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, if you come later, a few hundred meters further on you will find 24!7, a vending machine shop (and from there it is not even 200 meters to the Pizzeria Firat, just stay on the main road). So nothing stands in the way of a leisurely break. You will find the next trash can at the bus stop opposite the Kuper gas station (they also have ice cream and chocolate), you can see it from that point, or at the intersection by the market square a little further on.

It is advisable to walk the moor pad anti-clockwise because the information boards partially build on each other and can then be read in the correct order. Especially if you have children with you. The moor path is quickly muddy. Rubber boots are a good choice for children.

Beautiful area, nice to walk through

This is the starting point for the moor nature trail tour. The car can be parked easily here.

The background to the beautiful and group-friendly rest area "Fillerkuhle" may not be quite as appetizing for many animal lovers. Because the peeling of the fur from dead animals was called "filling". Hence the name of the rest area. The name goes back to a cave for animal carcasses that was formerly located at the rear of the hut. Here the carcasses of dead cows, horses and other animals from the animal husbandry were cut up, boiled and refined into glue or curd soap. The leftovers were then processed into animal feed.
