On the west side of the dam stretches one of Lower Saxony's large heathlands, covering an area of over 68 hectares. The area and its surroundings have been a nature reserve since 1938 and also an FFH (Flora-Fauna-Habitat) area since 2000. By the way: The heath bloom at the reservoir is thanks to around 220 sheep and 70 goats that graze daily in the heath all year round, thus preventing the heath from becoming overgrown with bushes.

The Große Tredde is a scenic, wooded dune belt and part of the protected heathland directly on the reservoir. It is located on the northwestern shore near the village of Dwergte (Molbergen). Here you will find the striking Orkanstein, which commemorates the great storm catastrophe of 1972. The area can be explored excellently via the "Waldlehr- und Erlebnispfad Dwergter Sand" (Forest Education and Experience Trail Dwergter Sand).

The heathlands and moors at the Thülsfelder Talsperre reservoir are crisscrossed by varied paths through open heath landscapes, quiet moorland areas, and shady forest sections. And every now and then you'll see one of the old, thatched sheepfolds – a beautiful photo opportunity.
