Here, where the signs "Spülfeld" stand, the camp's feces were dumped until the Rieselfelder were completed. Where the new building stands, there was a pumping station from 1906 that pumped the wastewater from the military camp to the Rieselfelder.

Nice shore paths and with a bathing area. Unfortunately, the latter is home to unpleasant clientele - as is often the case when larger towns are nearby.

The “Herrenmoor near Kleve” can be circumnavigated on foot from Nuttelner Vierth on municipal paths. Some of the paths are also accessible by bike. Unfortunately, the railway bridge from Kleve "Achtern Barg" to Nuttelner Vierth/Nuttelner Heide Hügel was dismantled and no replacement was made for cost reasons. This slowly beginning moor development can now be experienced by the visitor on the Nutteln moor side, where a small oak plank path leads into the moor grassland areas. https://www.steinburg.de/kreisverwaltung/information-der-fachaemter/amt-fuer-umweltschutz/naturschutz/schutzgebiete-u-schuetzte-objects/nreservate/herrenmoor-bei-kleve.html
