アンマーラントの天然記念物・トップ20

アペンの南、アペンとアウグストフェーンの間にある約75ヘクタールの自然保護区「アペル・ティーフ」は、アマーラント郡に位置しています。 2005年の劇的な堤防移設により、北西部唯一の淡水干潟を持つ、ユニークで潮汐に依存した氾濫原がここに生まれました。

🌲✨ シュターマースホップは、ブナとオークの非常に古い樹木が特徴です。森の一部は自然保護区（NSG）に指定されているため、自然はここではほとんど邪魔されずに発展することができます。倒木はそのまま残り、珍しい昆虫や菌類の生息地となり、森にまるで物語のような外観を与えています。

🌲✨ シュターマースホップは、ツヴィッシェンアーナー・メーアの北岸にある、真の自然の宝石であり、最も価値のある森林・自然保護区の一つです。ドライベルゲンとマイヤーハウゼン地区の間に位置し、アマーラントでは他に類を見ない、原始的な雰囲気を提供します。

Aper Tief The Aper Tief is a natural river in the municipality of Apen. Coming from the east, it flows through the farming communities of Hengstforde, Vreschen Bokel and Holtgast, from where it merges into the Jümme. Two retention areas were created along the river, which have become a fantastic nature reserve. The connection of the Aper Tief with the Jümme, Leda and Ems as far as the North Sea means that the tides are noticeable in this area with a tidal range of 60 to 120 cm. While hiking or cycling, discover the freshwater mudflats in Hengstforde and the floodplain landscape in Holtgast with its diverse birdlife. Anglers will also find excellent conditions here.

The Ellernteich is a real curiosity - because this pond was created twice. The Grand Duke of Oldenburg, Peter Friedrich Ludwig, had a park built here in Rastede next to his summer residence. His son and successor, Paul Friedrich August, expanded the park in the style of an English landscape park. In the course of this, the local lowland, which was covered with alders, known in Low German as Ellern, was converted into a fish pond in 1842. How complex the undertaking was can be seen from the fact that the pond was only completed 9 years later, in 1848. When it was completed, a new line of sight was created from the castle across the Ellern and Mühlenteich ponds to the water mill.

The 75 hectare “Aper Tief” nature reserve is a former contiguous wet grassland complex in the lowlands of the Aper Tief. The area was completely removed from grassland use in 2005 by relocating a dike, so that a natural floodplain landscape of a lowland river is redeveloping here. What is noteworthy in this context are the developing river mudflats and floodplain forests, through which oxbow lakes flow.
