The small nature reserve is a raised bog with bodies of water and moor birches. Important when visiting this landscape: Endangered animals such as the moor frog also live in the Fürstenkuhle. So keep on the paths and experience this beautiful nature with respect!
A great piece of nature, which may only be discovered on foot. But the small detour is worthwhile: The Fürstenkuhle is a high moorland remnant with a central, surrounded by Bruchwald, large heather. In places, typical bog vegetation has been preserved. The forest area is surrounded by extensively used grassland and wet meadows with some man-made shades, which are visited by resting and breeding birds. The flora and fauna of the heath host and its surroundings are considered unique in North Rhine-Westphalia. [Source: Wikipedia]
The Fürstenkuhle is a nature reserve of approximately 100 hectares. A narrow path leads through the area. At its center is a heathland pond, which can be explored via a boardwalk.
The Fürstenkuhle is home to a significant population of moor frogs. The males are often a vibrant blue color during the mating season.
The name Fürstenkuhle, by the way, derives from the Low German word Voskenkuhle, meaning fox hole, and therefore has nothing to do with princes.
