The Southern Versen Moor lies northwest of Meppen and covers approximately 100 hectares. The area belongs to the Bourtanger Moor-Veenland Nature Park and has been a protected nature reserve since 1999. Part of the area was formerly used for industrial peat extraction, while other sections remain as original raised bogs. Today, the moor is being rewetted to promote the typical vegetation of sphagnum mosses, cotton grass, and heather. The wetlands provide habitat for numerous bird and amphibian species. At the same time, the area contributes to water retention and reduces carbon dioxide emissions – an important contribution to climate protection.

Beautiful nature all around and an exceptional shelter directly on the lake

Nice shelter when the weather doesn't play along.

A beautiful recreation area with beach and palm trees. Something like that can also be made from a cooling water reservoir for a nuclear power plant.

The Geeste reservoir was built in the 1980s and has a capacity of around 23.4 million cubic meters of water. It is used from the Dortmund-Ems Canal at times when there is sufficient water flow in the Ems filled with a pump. At times of low water, up to 18 million cubic meters of water can then be returned via the canal to the Ems from the basin in the same way. Without further interference with nature, the Dortmund-Ems Canal serves as a long-distance water pipeline between the reservoir and the Ems. The total capacity of the basin is designed in such a way that the Lingen nuclear power plant can continue to operate even if the drought lasts for months without affecting the ecology of the Ems. The lake is about 2 km long and about 1.3 km wide at its widest point. The path on the crest of the dam is about 5.8 km long. The Geeste reservoir serves as a local recreation area for the region and offers a wide range of opportunities for walkers, cyclists, swimmers, sailors and divers.

Good vantage point over the area there.

Very nice little hut to shelter or to watch the animals.
