The forest and wet meadows in this area belong to the Lichtenhagen nature reserve. Until the 1970s, clay was dug out here for the production of roof tiles.
After that, the water accumulated in the former clay pits and a diverse habitat with still waters, wet forests and heathland was created. Rare and particularly protected species of birds, amphibians and reptiles live here, such as the black-tailed lizard, sand lizard and moor frog. (Information according to the information board on site).


In this clearing, the wooden sculpture of a worker is a reminder of the old, manual mining in the clay pits.

On some paths you can clearly see a reddish color, which is due to the clay content in the rock. The wet meadows and heathland are also explained with the above background knowledge.

Conclusion:
Varied landscape with exciting and easy-to-ride paths and trails.

A beautiful forest and recreational area with many paths and a lot of green. There are many trees that are more than 100 years old and provide shade in the summer. The many ditches and streams also provide for pleasant conditions.

Femeiche Natural Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

It's amazing that a tree can get so old, even though a lot has already been done to it.
It's worth seeing this tree.

Poststation Suendarp Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

On the neighboring farm, horses used to be changed on the old postal route from Essen to Borken and you could take a break. As a reminder, you can still take a nice rest today and still have a roof over your head.
