Boardwalks through the Brackvenn

Highlight • Trail

Especially now in autumn the moor with its many grasses showed its most beautiful side. The colors were magnificent, the bridges were sometimes slippery at the moment. You always have to be careful in the Venn, of course.

High moor landscape as far as the eye can see.
Beautiful, but also a bit scary... 🙄

Together with Gisela and Gittemaus, I took a really lovely walk through the Brackvenn today. We were out early, and the morning dew was still glistening on cobwebs 🕸️ and blades of grass 🌾. The small bushes were laden with blueberries 🫐, and the heather isn't finished blooming yet. The leaves are slowly starting to change color everywhere. It was …

A short loop through the Brackvenn, which was supposed to be longer, but the mud was thicker.

You can extend it nicely if you do a figure 8 by adding a loop on the other side of the road. Then the Nahtsief car park is also a good option so that you don't walk past the car halfway through.

Nice little hike on a circular path in the Brackvenn. You have beautiful views of the surrounding area. There are some information boards in German too! Very important! There are only a limited number of parking spaces at the Ternell Nahtsief car park. If you arrive late, you should have alternative routes in your luggage 🤗

On the evening of the first day of your holiday, you took advantage of the last rays of light to immerse yourself in the extraordinary landscape of the High Fens...

The Brack Venn was a must after the great walk in the High Fens.

Unfortunately, we had less time than planned, so we chose the circular route. A completely different landscape than the High Fens. Lots of greenery, lots of water, and lots of birds.

Unfortunately we weren't quite so lucky with the weather. The rain surprised us a bit. But we were still able to finish the tour without any problems. When the heather is in bloom, the tour is certainly even more fantastic.🤩 The nature is really beautiful. We had our little two-year-old with us again with a buggy. Now and then he …
