Aschener Moor Boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

On the approximately 1 km long and 1.5 to 3 meter wide footbridge with information boards, visitors learn a lot about the three-year excavations on the nearby PR 6 (historic boardwalk) and about the moor landscape. You can follow the course of the boardwalk along the already rewetted moorland via a "moor trail" that runs along the original route of the path. At the end, a viewing platform on a "healthy skin area" that has never been cleared of peat offers a beautiful view over the moor. This creates an experience point that conveys cultural and natural heritage in a unique way. Benches invite you to linger.

View of the wetlands in Südlohner Moor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Already crazy here. So much water, so much rest. With the right tires you can get through here easily.
But the ground is ungrateful, swallowing twice as many grains with every step.

The NSG Südlohner Moor with its 654 hectares is part of the Great Moor (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Großes_Moor_%28Vechta-Diepholz%29). Not all parts of the Great Moor are protected.

"The 654-acre protected area secures another section of the formerly almost endless Diepholzer Moorniederung.After the expected in a few years, the final end of peat extraction in the core area of the area this will be completely rewetted, creating more opportunities for life for the remaining highly peat-typical plants and animals Furthermore, there are loose moor birch forests in the area, as well as meadows and pastures of great importance for ground-breeding bird species.

Kroge Moor

Highlight • Natural

The word “Kroge” comes from the word “Krug”, because the town of Kroge developed from an inn on Pickerweg, an old street that runs through Kroge. The inn was located in the Wassenberg courtyard. In the hereditary house there was also an inn for the carters who used this old trade route. The Wassenberg farm in Kroge-Ehrendorf has a long history and was first mentioned in 1515 with Dirich Wassenborn.[1] The word “Ehrendorf”, on the other hand, comes from the word “Ehre” and thus describes the soil that is good for agriculture. In 1999, Kroge became the winner of the Vechta district in the “Our village should become more beautiful” competition.
