Here is an information board about the moor and the ground-nesting birds

A simple bench for a short rest.

The tower can be reached via the main path. The path is secured with a barrier at the front. A narrow path leads past the barrier on the right. I think it was deliberately chosen to be so narrow. After that you have to drive about 500 m along a dirt road. When you get there and take a break, take the rubbish with you. Those who want to "litter or smear everything around" should do so within your own four walls - if you have any. Intelligence comes from understanding ... The observation tower in the Leegmoor nature reserve provides impressive insights into the bird life of the European protected area. In addition, there are areas with a fairly well-developed meadow bird population as well as open water areas with resting birds all year round and the extensive moor, pasture and meadow landscape. Thanks to the relatively good access, this natural experience can be admired all year round. https://surwold.de/aussichtsturm-im-leegmoor/

Great observation tower with a great view over the Leegmoor and the entire region

The cemetery, now known as the Esterwegen burial site, has been renamed several times. The dead from the Börgermoor, Esterwegen and Neusustrum concentration camps and, until 1945, all prison camps in Emsland were buried in individual graves in the grave complex, originally known as the “Börgermoor camp cemetery” or also known as “Teufelsberg” by the guards and prisoners. In addition, at least two Soviet prisoners of war who died in the Klostermoor work detail rest here. Since shortly after the end of the war, the list of graves has been considered missing, so the graves are nameless. However, since deaths were registered in the camps and at registry offices, many of the names of those buried here can be identified. In the 1950s, exhumations of the concentration camp dead, who were reburied in the cemetery near the Versen camp, and of the “Nacht und Nebel” prisoners, who were transferred to their home countries, took place. The wooden and later stone crosses that were originally placed on the individual graves were no longer used when the cemetery was redesigned in 1972/73. In 1981, the state of Lower Saxony built an open memorial hall in the middle of the cemetery with the names of the 15 Emsland camps and an information board. In 1985, the Fédération des Victimes du Nazisme, Enrôlées de force Luxembourg inaugurated a memorial stone with a plaque in the entrance area of the cemetery in memory of the Luxembourg forced conscripts imprisoned in the Emsland camps.

The observation tower in Leegmoor is an absolute treat for all moor fans. From here you have a great overview of the entire Leegmoor to Esterwegen. The journey may be a bit bumpy because of the gravel road, but it's worth it. With a little effort and pushing, the Leegmoor can also be driven through from Börgermoor to Esterwegen.

Extremely impressive burial ground for more than 1300 victims of National Socialist tyranny. The attentive visitor will discover the history, the suffering, but also the will of different victims of National Socialism, not to have died in vain. At the same time this is also the place of annual rallies around the 8th of May, the day of the liberation from the NS, and around the 1st of September, the day the war started in 1939. One should take some time.

Coming in early in the morning or in the evening is the best lighting mood
