    Hiking

    In the heart of the Teverener Heide lies a beautiful cottongrass bog, an open, wet area where white cottongrass dances in the wind like a rolling sea of silk. In spring and summer, it creates an enchanting spectacle: thousands of white tufts gently sway across the bog while dragonflies and butterflies glide among the stems.

    The cottongrass bog is a valuable nature reserve where damp heather moss and peat alternate. It is home to a rich biodiversity and reflects the delicate balance of these unique heathland landscapes.
