Very beautiful nature reserve. There is also an observation tower there.

The Stapeler Moor, with its nearly 2-kilometer-long peatland discovery trail, is definitely worth a visit. When we were there, we were alone, and the trail was easily navigable by bicycle. Until 1964, the peat extracted here was used to heat the power plant in Wiesmoor. With the end of the power plant era, peat extraction in Uplengen continued and was primarily used in horticulture. Extraction finally ceased in 1998. The Stapeler Moor is now a strictly protected nature reserve and is undergoing extensive renaturalization. The extracted peat areas have been rewetted, and rushes and sphagnum mosses are once again thriving in the former cuttings. It will take centuries for a fully intact moor to re-emerge. Along the peatland discovery trail, information panels provide comprehensive information about the moor and its flora and fauna. It was a shame that the observation tower was closed; it's probably showing its age and is in a state of disrepair. ... Update March 2026: The dilapidated viewing platform has been demolished and a new observation tower has been built. I think it will be opened soon.

Great large platform that offers a nice overview of the moor. With interesting information boards.

The lookout is visibly showing its age and needs maintenance but is still stable and the all-round view is very good

Here you can learn a lot about the moor

The ideal destination for cyclists, hikers and nature lovers. The adventure trail near Uplengen was completed at the end of 2008. This circular hiking trail with a viewing tower and a replica of an ancient plank path that led through the moor thousands of years ago gives visitors an idea of how the impassable moor was crossed back then. You can also take a break in the middle of the untouched nature or find out information about the flora and fauna on several of the information boards set up there. The trail is 1.6 km long. There is enough parking space.

Location The former nature reserve "Lengener Meer" and the former nature reserve "Stapeler Moor" (Leer district) form a connected complex with the former nature reserve "Spolsener Moor" (Friesland district), which has been completely absorbed into the nature reserve "Stapeler Moor and Surroundings". This is located in northwestern Lower Saxony, about twelve kilometers northwest of the town of Westerstede in the municipality of Uplengen. It belongs to the natural unit of the "East Frisian Central Raised Moors" and, together with the now isolated former Herrenmoor nature reserve and the Neudorfer Moor nature reserve, to the northern part of the Lengener Moor sub-unit. The remains of the moor lie in the apex of the "Oldenburg-East Frisian Geest Ridge" on the watershed between the Jade Bay and the Ems. The series of raised bogs that formed here after the last ice age largely follows old meltwater channels.

The Lengener Meer is a raised bog lake in the municipality of Uplengen in the Leer district in East Frisia, Lower Saxony. It is one of the few remaining raised bog lakes in Germany. The almost circular shallow lake, also called the Moorauge or Kolk, is only 0.80 meters deep and covers 22 hectares. It lies in the middle of the former nature reserve (NSG) "Lengener Meer", a remaining raised bog that has more or less degenerated through drainage but is still partially growing. The former nature reserve has an area of 240 hectares and was part of the 1414 hectare FFH area "Lengener Meer, Stapeler Moor, Baasenmeers-Moor". On September 1, 2016, it was incorporated into the newly designated nature reserve "Stapeler Moor and surroundings".
