Frotheim Bridge over the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • Bridge

SECRET TIP:
There is a small car park on the moor side. From there it is only a stone's throw to the north tower and the bog body...

Evening sun over the Mittelland Canal. You can enjoy that here. At the same time, this goal can always be incorporated into tours of the most diverse disciplines.

North Tower (observation tower), Großes Torfmoor

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can learn a lot about our bog bodies on the wooden path near this tower. This tower is also ideal for photographing the sunrise.

The large peat bog in the area of Lübbecke and Hille is the only raised bog in the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is located directly in the north of the Wiehengebirge and extends over an area of 467 hectares. Characteristic of the damp moor are the small, dark ponds, the heather plants, high observation towers and small birch groves. The moor is a special ecosystem that you can explore on several hiking trails.

Birdwatching spot in the Großes Torfmoor

Highlight • Natural

Find a bench and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the fauna in the moor, whether 🐦, frogs or moor sheep. It won't be boring. Or have a snack or tea time on one of the towers.🤩

Moor bath at Großes Torfmoor

Highlight • Natural Monument

Would you like to cool down? Even on warm days, a lap in the mud bath is good for your legs. But don't forget to bring a towel!

Moorschnucken herd at Bastauwiesen

Highlight • Natural

A fairly large herd of Moorschnucke sheep can be found all around near the south tower. They serve to protect the moor. Sheep grazing, which was abandoned around 40 years ago, was resumed in the summer of 2000. The Moorschnucken are best suited in raised bogs to specifically reduce birch growth and moor grass.
The sound of the Moorschnucken biting in the moor is simply terrific.
