ホーエ・マルク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

It is located in the middle of the forest and in the fog it looks almost spooky

The Weiße Venn - Geisheide is an important nature reserve in North Rhine-Westphalia, characterized by its unique moorland and heathland. It is located near Haltern am See and includes various biotope types, including raised bogs, dwarf shrub heaths and sandy dune areas. This diverse landscape provides a habitat for a variety of rare plant and animal species that can thrive in this special environment. The area is largely part of a former military training area, which is why access to the public is very limited. However, visitors have the opportunity to walk around the area on designated cycling and hiking trails, experiencing the impressive nature without directly entering the sensitive ecosystem. The Weiße Venn and the Geisheide are not only ecologically valuable, but also scenically attractive. The heathlands bloom in strong purple, especially in late summer, which provides an impressive backdrop. For nature lovers looking for peace and quiet and an original landscape, the Weiße Venn is an ideal destination.

The area of today's Holtwicker Wachholder Heide was originally created by agriculturally used forest areas. Almost every farming community in Westphalia owned such a mark. They had the right to use these marks as grazing land for their cattle, for lumber, and for cutting sods. Over time, the forest disappeared more and more due to overexploitation and a lack of reforestation. Only heather and juniper bushes grew on the emaciated and acidic soil. To date, these extensive heathlands have mostly been reforested and, to a lesser extent, converted into arable land. The Holtwick juniper heath, which has been placed under nature protection, remained as a remnant of this ancient rural cultural landscape.
