October 22, 2024,Das Venner Moor im herbstlichen Gewand 🍁🍂
Take a break from everyday life with a relaxed walk through a piece of Münsterland that is more than 6,000 years old. Plants and animals typical of heathland are at home here. Birch, pine and rowan grow here on their own, pedunculate oak and sessile oak have been planted. A 300-meter-long boardwalk guides visitors and thus protects the remaining raised …

The weather isn't that bad today, so I followed Patrizia Str's tip and drove to the Venner Moor with Yuma!

Thank you 😊 I really liked it and the soft, springy floor was a dream

Oh, it's scary to walk across the moor,
When it's full of heather smoke,
The vapors turn like phantoms
And the tendril crochets on the bush,
A spring springs under every step,

Oh, it's scary to walk across the moor,
When the reeds crackle in the breath...
