Melmmoor/Kuhdammoor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Melmmoor/Kuhdammmoor nature reserve is a true paradise for birds. Take a little time to linger and you might see or hear lapwings, curlews or stonechats.

Melmmoor-Kuhdammoor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

This unique nature reserve is located south of the Esterwegen coastal canal. It consists of former raised bogs that have now been partially rewetted. In between you will find grassland and fallow areas where rare and endangered animals and plants thrive. If you like, you can hike a little further into the moor on the moor adventure trail.

Leegmoor

Highlight • Natural

The Leegmoor nature reserve is a raised bog. After years of peeling it was partially rewetted with the help of a moor protection program. In other places the peat is up to two and a half meters deep. It is a very natural area, inaccessible and therefore a paradise for ground breeders.

View of Esterwegen and Leegmoor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you can see all the way to the west over the town of Esterwegen and the adjacent moor areas (Leegmoor nature reserve; Melmmoor/Kuhdammoor). Pretty unexpected, and therefore recommended, for the Emsland

The Melmmoortour near Esterwegen combines nature and history in a special way. The approximately 15.8 km route leads through the Esterweger Busch and vast moor landscapes, past the Esterwegen memorial site.

This path leads past the Esterwegen memorial, which everyone should visit at least once. Today, however, it was not my destination.

Highlights of this tour are the beautiful forest path, the excellent moor path (there is even a bog body to see here, but unfortunately the window is very damaged) and the path parallel to the B 401.
