Hiking

At a good 15 kilometers in length, our LandStreifer Wesel "Diersfordter Wald" is not very short, but your trip to the enchanted landscape of the heath moor with picturesque wooden plank paths and idyllic ponds will make the route fly by. Red deer, fallow deer, moufflons and wild boars live here in the Diersfordt Forest. And with a little luck, you can even watch the shy forest dwellers from a vantage point along the way.

At the parking lot on the edge of Blumenkamp you have already arrived in the middle of the forest area. The path meanders across to Flüren. You will hardly notice the civilization, because you always stay in the lush green. Follow a gravel path across Emmericher Straße. Oaks and pines soar proudly around you. After about nine kilometers, the view of the moor opens up. Keep your eyes peeled for the animal inhabitants such as frogs, wild geese and the gray heron, which likes to hunt here.

A special highlight awaits you at the end of the tour with the Black Water. The primeval pond got its appropriate name for the brown-black coloring of the water, which is caused by substances washed out of the peat. Sit down on a bench again and enjoy the silence.

Diersfordter Wald Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

A gravel path leads through a semi-natural mixed oak and pine forest, which is easily accessible with prams or wheelchairs. With a bit of luck, probably early in the morning or at dusk, you can spot the red and fallow deer, wild boar or mouflon that live here.

A really nice way with a great landscape, really recommendable. In early summer, however, there was hardly any water left. We even saw storks there. Otherwise there are several different species of ducks and geese, gray herons, dragonflies and many other animals to watch, such as woodpeckers, frogs and even grass snakes.

Here there is also a nice elevation from which you can watch all the waterfowl well. There are also many benches around the Black Water to rest and enjoy. From here you can also walk a great round to the Diersforter forest with its deer park and moor pond and back again.

After a short drive, the LandStreifer journey through time was followed by the LandStreifer Diersfordter Wald:

Today we started early for the sunrise 🌅 hike to Wesel in the Diersfordter Forest. I already knew the area from the Hohe Mark Steig. Because I liked the Diersfordt Forest so much, it should be the Landstreifer Rundweg today 🤗
The route is a nice addition to the main path of the Hohe Marksteig and leads over great paths. …

The Diersfordter Wald landstreifer starts at the black lake and runs through Diersfordt and the nearby Diersfordter Wald nature reserve. The highlight of the tour is the boardwalk over the boggy morass. This passage is worth a visit, especially when the weather is nice. Overall, the tour is highly recommended.

A very nice loop with many information panels about the local flora and fauna.

We were lucky with the weather; at 5°C it was a bit chilly, and the wind felt even colder, but it was dry, and the sun even peeked out occasionally 🌞
