A very quiet place that seems a bit enchanted and sometimes bizarre. Again and again beautiful views of the water!

March 16, 2025,Durch's Venner Moor ohne Mücken 😅💤😁☀️
The Venner Moor Loop is truly beautiful! Especially in the sunshine at this time of year, because there are no mosquitoes yet!

This was our second attempt; the first one last summer failed miserably. It was warm, and we had barely set foot on the moor when the mosquitoes attacked us. It was so intense that we abandoned the hike.

The weather isn't that bad today, so I followed Patrizia Str's tip and drove to the Venner Moor with Yuma!
There was also an Adventure Lab 😍
What a wonderful little round we shot and there was also a little heather.
Thank you 😊 I really liked it and the soft, springy floor was a dream

The starting point is the hikers' car park on Venner Straße (coming from Münster over Kappenberger Damm in the direction of Ottmarsbocholt).
We did the short hike through the nature reserve in beautiful autumn weather.
It goes all over the Venner Moor. Part of the route goes over a boardwalk. The Dortmund Ems Canal runs past the NSG.

The scenery on this route is absolutely stunning.
The nature on this short hike is very diverse.
Our first section followed the canal, followed by boardwalks through the moor, a clearing in the beech forest, a pine forest, …

The Venner Moor nature reserve is located in the community of Senden (Coesfeld district), about 12 km from Münster.

Hopefully nothing bad 🙈
