바스타우비젠‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 천연기념물

In April 2013, the NABU Moorhus Visitor Center opened on the western edge of the Großes Torfmoor nature reserve. It presents the history of the Großes Torfmoor from its formation to the present day in a lively and diverse permanent exhibition. The original goal was to provide visitors to the Großes Torfmoor with information about the largest raised bog in North Rhine-Westphalia and its regeneration in a permanent exhibition. Today, the Moorhus has evolved and become established. Lectures and exhibitions, as well as a NABU shop, complement the offerings. Source: nrw.nabu.de

Very large observation tower over several floors. Beautifully solidly built, so that even people with a fear of heights can climb up and enjoy the magnificent view without any problems.

The paths here are sometimes narrow and lead through the moorland areas, some with trees and some with large bodies of water.

The moor and all areas also need to be cared for regularly. Sheep are powerful helpers here.

For us it is simply the starting point (with parking) for a great tour through the moor.

This area is called the Bastau lowlands or Bastau meadows. Centuries ago, before it was largely drained by humans, it was part of the Great Torfmoor, which was once considerably larger than it is today.

The Moorhus is always open Wed - Sat from 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. The entrance fee for adults is €2.50. In the exhibition you get some insights into the Great Peat Bog, because the museum is specially tailored to this bog, its formation, its former economic importance and its future importance. In addition to some environmental aspects, there is also the animal and plant world to admire, but also extremely interesting: a film with old video recordings of peat extraction and the history of this landscape in the valley of the Urweser, which once flowed here towards the Netherlands and not via Nienburg to Bremen. All this has been worked up briefly but very informatively for the Moorhus and thus offers a good insight into the Great Peat Bog. After that, you can start a tour from the large car park and experience the animals live.
