A beautiful section of the tour. Here you can hike on narrow wooden planks in the nature reserve. A must-do.

A beautiful spot here in the nature reserve. Highly recommended. A certain degree of surefootedness is required on the narrow wooden paths.

At the Hoogenkamp/Raßingvenn junction is the hub of the Büngerner Dingdener Heide, which is designated as a nature reserve. The Fääne project (with an area of around 9 hectares) is part of the Hohe Mark Nature Park (with a total of 1978 sq km). The area/meadows towards the southeast are the so-called Fääne (dialect = Fän/Vän = Venn). By purchasing this area, a connection was created between the western and eastern areas of the Büngerner Dingdener Heide and the areas were divided and redesigned. 2.1 hectares of arable land and 2.9 hectares of INTENSIVE grassland became 5 hectares of EXTENSIVE grassland with plants from moist and poor meadows and pastures. 4 hectares of mixed pine-oak forest became 4 hectares of mixed birch-oak forest. If you follow the Raßingvenn further towards the forest (harder for bicycles - better to walk), you will see the first measures of the intended forest conversion. Here, mixed coniferous forest is to be converted into mixed oak forest. The honorary chairwoman of the "Fääne" foundation at the time was Gisela Klingler. A memorial stone stands at this spot in her honor.

Water buffalo are very peaceful and undemanding animals. Here they are used as "landscape caretakers" and ensure that, for example, the ponds and areas in the heath are kept clear and they thus limit the growth of reeds and woody plants. This means that these areas can be used by other animal species, such as frogs, toads and dragonflies, which in turn provide food for birds, such as storks. These areas also provide breeding or resting places for rare bird species, such as curlews and snipes. The water buffalo on this pasture normally have their "residence" on the Kragemann buffalo farm in Barlo and are only here to "work".
