メッペンの天然記念物・トップ20

After the peat bog was extracted in the 1960s, the Dutch Forestry Commission began the renaturation of what is now the Bargerveen nature reserve. Today, due to its exceptional diversity of flora and fauna, it enjoys special protection as a European bird sanctuary and an important wetland. You can explore the area on approximately 30 kilometers of hiking trails, enjoy panoramic views of the bog from the observation hill and tower, or experience the unique landscape on guided tours and accessible rides on the Veenland Express train.

Beautiful scenery for relaxing. We went canoeing on the Hase River. In Meppen, you can visit a beautiful old town and relax in the surrounding green spaces.

The Borken Paradise has its charm at any time of year.

There is a pedestrian bridge over the Ems, from which you have a great view of the mill and the two rivers.

The windmill in Meppen is one of the landmarks of Meppen.

A beautiful spot right next to the mill.

The Hase is a tributary of the Ems, 169.6 km long, rises in the Teutoburg Forest and flows into the Ems in Meppen, which is expanded here into the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

Here, the name speaks for itself. The 30-hectare "Borkener Paradise" is a real gem. Flooded alluvial forests, green meadows and pastures and dry nutrient-poor grassland - all this makes up the protected area. Stay here a little and enjoy the unique nature.
