The 75 hectare “Aper Tief” nature reserve is a former contiguous wet grassland complex in the lowlands of the Aper Tief. The area was completely removed from grassland use in 2005 by relocating a dike, so that a natural floodplain landscape of a lowland river is redeveloping here. What is noteworthy in this context are the developing river mudflats and floodplain forests, through which oxbow lakes flow.

You can wonderfully hike around the lake and have many beautiful views of the lake along the way

From here a small excursion steamer sets off for tours on the Zwischenahner Meer.

The Moorhauser Polder is a flood polder that stores the flood waters of the Hunte. This year the water is particularly high due to the rainfall of the last few months. You could tell from the drift on the grass that it wasn't a meter higher. The Moorhauser Polder is an El Dorado for water birds. This year 15,000 barnacle geese and 10,000 white-fronted geese rest here. It is a spectacle when they fly in in the evening with loud cries and then fly off again in the morning to look for food.

The hydrangea ‘Endless Summer’ ® astonished the gardening world in 2003: For the first time, the renowned plant breeder Prof. Dr. Michael A. Dirr and his team from the University of Georgia in Athens/USA succeeded in breeding a hydrangea that blooms on old and new shoots. New buds form regularly and open in the same summer. Ball-shaped flowers repeatedly add new color accents well into late summer. This clearly distinguishes it from other hydrangea varieties that do not form flowers on one-year-old wood. Another plus point is its remarkable winter hardiness! Thanks to the new flowering behavior, pruning is also easier. ‘Endless Summer’ ® can be cut back in spring without any problem, without having to forego a bounty of flowers in summer.

The Aper Tief is a small river in the Lower Saxony municipalities of Apen in the district of Ammerland and Detern in the joint municipality of Jümme in the district of Leer.

A boat tour is worthwhile here

Very relaxed cycling in beautiful nature. In warm weather there is pleasant shade under the trees.
