Oppenweher Moor hiking trail loop in the Oppenweher Moorland nature reserve

How lucky to have been here! Wide country, tranquil nature. Peaceful and still. Only the cuckoo with its monotonous singing could be heard. A hiking trail with only natural paths. Soft and extremely pleasant to walk on peat. Be sure to rub insect repellent before the hike. Otherwise the beasts will suck you dry in wooded areas 😉

Peace and tranquility accompanies us on the way. This moor looks different again. The paths are clearly signposted. The highlight is the bird watching stand and/or the boardwalk. The renaturation appears to be well advanced. The heavy rain in autumn did something about it.

Today I had to get out a little earlier, and since the weather was much better than the day before yesterday, I chose a slightly longer tour for us. The Oppenweher moor landscape is always a pleasure. The nice thing is that you can hike for kilometers through the nature reserve, and not just two hectares of nature trails and otherwise "no entry allowed". Of course, there are also quiet areas that should not be entered, but there are many interesting paths around them. Birch forests, sheep pastures and heath-like areas alternate. In some wet places the peat moss is growing vigorously again, and if we have patience for a few hundred years, a mighty bog will emerge here again. But even now it's an experience, and Cookie and I really enjoyed this round.

Started very early today. I really wanted fog and there was plenty of it in the Oppenweher Moor. I sunk a few thoughts into the moor and returned home with more perspective. Great light, silence and awakening geese and cranes who have discussed their plans for the winter.

Cotton grass and frog singing - 9.7 KM round trip in the Oppenweher Moor. Also in summer a special round and completely different than in winter. It was like a day at the sea. The cuckoo called beautifully all the time.

The Oppenweher Moor is one of the younger moors in the Diepholzer Moorniederung. Along some signposted circular routes you can discover rare bog plants and experience the natural area of bog. Some sections also go through the middle of the moor! In the days of May, the cotton-grass blossom is married and you can experience it "up close" here in Oppenweher Moor!

A really nice lunch break. Around and through the moor. The planned 8 km became almost 10 because one path was closed. This vastness, this silence, sunshine and wind, it was soooo beautiful. Unfortunately, the moor is totally dried up 😪

What a wonderful piece of earth Fantastic natural country lanes....2x a piece of wooden plank path.....super easy to walk Great foresight Heavenly rest... Quite different from, for example, the large peat bog The Oppenweher Moor looks much more natural....much more "moory".....much more often there are water areas directly near the path...you stay on the path voluntarily I really noticed that NOWHERE is the smallest piece of garbage lying around or a bottle or something similar The perfect place to enjoy peace and relax
