Around 11,000 years ago, the Weser formed a gully lake in the area of today's moor. At that time, glaciers prevented the Weser from taking a northerly course as it does today, and it ran westwards north of the Wiehen Hills. When the glaciers melted and the Weser flowed northwards again, the gully lake silted up and became a moor that stretched parallel to the mountains for over 20 kilometres north of the Wiehen Hills. The maximum width of this "primeval moor" was three kilometres at the time. At first a fen developed, but then gradually a raised bog, the remains of which are now known as the Great Peat Moor.

... the Sielwehr on the Sielterrassen 💦💦💦 ... a great natural spectacle and an absolute highlight!!! 👍 ... the parking lot and the restaurant at the Sielterrassen offer a good starting and ending point for beautiful "Nordic walking tours"!!! 👍👟👍

+++ I was particularly impressed by the Moorschnucken. These serve to protect the moor, similar to the sheep in the north to protect the dyke. +++You are near P6 (car park 6) at the south tower.

+++The moor is characterized by 3 hiking trails, which are marked on posts in blue, red and yellow. +++2, 2.5 and 7.5 km long paths await visitors. +++ Sufficient notice and information boards make the moor a very interesting place for excursions for young and old, i.e. also for families with children.

In autumn you can marvel at the faded heathland, the colorful and contrasting moor landscape with its many characteristic mini lakes, the so-called moor biotopes, in which the plants and tree stumps are reflected, and of course photograph them...

+++The moor adventure trail partly takes you along wooden plank paths through the varied moorland landscape. +++For the extensive view over the moor with the heights of the Wiehengebirge in the background, it is worth climbing to the observation tower (north tower) (source: https://www.teutoburgerwald.de/wandern-radfahr/in-der-natur/tour/...).

the tower goes over 3 platforms, so you have the chance to observe animals: e.g. B. Birds
