At this point there is a larger moor lake, which makes a nice photo motif, especially in fog. Above this, this moor lake is regularly visited by waterfowl such as wild ducks. If there are few people on the jetties and you approach the lake(s) quietly, there is a high probability that the animals will not be startled and scared away.

The peat that can be found everywhere in the bog and fen areas is the result of a process of incomplete decomposition. Usually, dead plants are gradually decomposed by small animals (such as earthworms), bacteria and fungi. This process applies to well-drained soils. On impervious acidic soils that do not contain many bacteria and in humid climates, plants such as peat moss are only partially decomposed. Their superimposition forms the peat layer. This peat layer can be up to 7 m in certain places here in the Brackvenn. 1 mm layer of peat takes 1 year to form. With a peat layer of 7 m, for example, we are talking about a period of 7,000 years.

Anyone who sees the beauty of the raised and low moors will never be able to let it go. The colors of the landscape, indeed the entire appearance of the High Fens, change dramatically every season. Even in winter - a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

What is often called a lake in the Fens is often e.g. Palsas. The palsen or pingos in the High Fens were formed around 10,000 to 11,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. When the ground froze deep down during the cold winters of the Ice Age, the wet ground expanded and frost mounds developed. Over the years these mounds grew and the soil material that was on top slid down the sides of the mounds and over time formed a ring-shaped wall around the mound of frost. With the end of the ice age, the ice melted, the frost mound sagged and the wall was preserved. The water in the middle is called bog scour or bog eye.

What a unique landscape! Warning: hiking in the High Fens can be addictive :-)

Unfortunately, the third of the above tours (Struffelt nature reserve - view of the Runde von Roetgen reservoir, 9.46 km) is currently (04/30/22) not accessible. The parking lot is closed and the path from the parking lot is not hikeable due to numerous large fallen trees 😱🙁. So it's no use starting this tour from the nearest car park - the Kleebendbrücke hikers' car park.

매우 아름다운 히스-습지 자연보호구역입니다. 이 자연보호구역은 집중적인 양 방목으로 형성된 오래된 문화 지역이며, 현재 보존되어야 합니다. 가을에는 피어나는 히스가 절대적인 시선을 사로잡습니다. 자작나무와 부분적으로 압도적인 고사리와의 조합이 매우 아름답습니다. 습지를 통과하는 길은 나무 판자로 된 길입니다.

The Fagnes are breathtakingly beautiful at any time of the year. You really have to have been here once.
