Beautiful view of the Vehnemoor, which was declared a nature reserve after peat mining ended.

A great view. Just drive past.

Cotton grass in the Vehnemoor as far as the eye can see.

Great route, little traffic...

The Vehnemoor nature reserve in the municipalities of Bösel in the Cloppenburg district and Edewecht in the Ammerland district is 1,676 hectares in size. It belongs to the Hunte-Leda moor lowland and is the largest contiguous moor landscape that remains of the historically much larger moor complex "Vehnemoor". What is still striking about the Vehnemoor today is the large-scale industrial peat mining. Some of the existing mining permits extend into the 2020s. Little by little, depending on when the dismantling ends, the Vehnemoor will develop over the various stages of raised bog renaturation into a landscape that can once again convey an impression of the former natural character and the special charm of the Oldenburg-East Frisian Geest. After the peat mining has been completed, the entire area of the Vehnemoor will be a habitat for wild-growing or wild raised bog animal and plant species.

Hello, unfortunately a small mistake has crept in here. Strolling through the moor is not permitted, as the NSG Vehnemoor may only be entered on public paths. The peat dams are not considered paths. But there are two sand paths on which you can walk through the moor.

After many years of peat mining, the Vehnemoor is now increasingly wet again. Some areas are still under cultivation before being added to the NSG in the coming years. Here you come across a kind of lake landscape, through which you can walk on paths that are covered with moor grass and partly Heath overgrown, can roam through. Birch trees have tried to settle in some places, but they are obviously deliberately kept short or cut off. The moorland is particularly impressive because of its simplicity and breadth and not so much because of its botanical diversity. This is precisely why it stands out from its surroundings and thus becomes a special attraction. You feel like you are in a different landscape.
