디에페나우‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Wonderful route. I went the red route from P7 and it was easy to follow. Special highlight today were the cranes (Kraniche) gathering there before their flight South. It was spectacular to hear and see them. Just wish I would have brought binoculars to see them better.

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.

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.

...a really idyllic spot...

We go the round often and it's always nice.

To start the hike I can recommend the P3. Here you can choose between 3 routes of different lengths: red, yellow and blue marked. The north tower is near the wooden plank path, which is simply beautifully laid out and gives the raised moor that certain something.👌

+++ 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.
