Wonderful route through the fields. Nature reserve...dreamy

The Recker Moor is a 3.45 km² nature reserve in the Tecklenburger Land region, northeast of Recke, in the Langenacker farming community. Together with the Mettinger Moor, it forms the FFH area "Mettinger and Recker Moor" (FHH area number 3612-301, area approximately 426 ha). It is one of the best-preserved moor areas in North Rhine-Westphalia. The "Recker Moor" nature reserve is a remnant of the former approximately 50 km² "Vinter Moor," which began developing into a raised bog around 5,000 years ago. Peat extraction, drainage, and agricultural use led to the almost complete disappearance of the bog, which was up to 3 m deep, before the Recker section was declared a nature reserve in 1971. The immediately adjacent Mettinger Moor followed in 1986. The Recker Moor still contains the original raised bog vegetation, where peat growth has resumed, while the Mettinger Moor consists largely of wet meadows and downy birch forest. The area provides a habitat for a variety of plant and bird species, including many endangered species such as teal, snipe, black-tailed godwit, curlew, yellow wagtail, and whinchat. Among the nine native sphagnum moss species, the extremely rare soft sphagnum (Sphagnum molle) is said to be found. The nature reserve is part of the "Düsterdieker Niederung" EU bird sanctuary.

Nicely done, close to the side street with a bench and wind and privacy protection.

The Recker Aa is a typical, ditch-like river in the region, near the village of Recke. It winds through fields and meadows.

Here begins another "place of peace." Apart from a cuckoo, we heard almost nothing. Instead, we heard the many yellow dandelion blossoms in the meadows.
