Heathland Landscape

Highlight • Natural

Beautiful natural paths. Especially beautiful during the heather blossom season in summer.

Sheepfold at the Thülsfelder Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

To the west of the dam there is a sheep pen in the middle of the heath. There are also nice opportunities for a picnic. A walk directly through the heath, of course on the heath path, is also highly recommended.

Wooden Bridge Over the Thülsfelder Talsperre

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

A very nice, narrow wooden bridge that leads over one arm of the dam. There are very exciting photo opportunities to the left and right of the bridge.

Shifting dunes and heathland near Esterwegen

Highlight • Natural

Very beautiful heathland. The southern part urgently needs to be cleared of bushes, otherwise the heathland will become forest.

View of the Talsperre from the southern end

Highlight • Viewpoint

My first thought was: “Like in Sweden!” The dam often looks like a natural lake.

August 4, 2024,Thülsfelder Talsperre #4/10 Iron Lake Challenge Niedersachsen

Today number 4/10 of the Iron Lake Challenge Lower Saxony.
For me the most beautiful circuit so far. Varied and no roads. Very close to the lake. Really beautiful. Again no parking fees.

A beautiful circular trail with plenty of lovely natural scenery. Dogs can access the water directly at many spots.

Very nice tour. Had a short swim at the north beach, ate an ice cream at the climbing park and saw a lot of lizards on the back...

July 2, 2023,Um die Thülsfelder Talsperre😀

Today we had planned a visit to my family in Papenburg and we thought: Why don't we stop at the Thülsfeld dam on the way? 😀

Thought done 😉! Since I haven't been there for ages, we always drive the main road anyway and the dam is right on the way, we drove straight to a parking lot there 😀 …

Something northwest of Cloppenburg lies this worth-seeing reservoir.
It is embedded in a recreational area, which largely consists of heathland, meadows, fields and forest.

I particularly liked the part covered with heather.
A trip and a hike are definitely worth it 😊

September 13, 2025,Blick auf die Heide Runde von Thülsfeld

We avoided the rain today and hiked around the Thülsfelder Dam.
It was a fantastic hike with diverse vegetation, heathland, moorland, forest, and water.
We had great weather with sunshine and wind—but no rain.
