Heathland in the Moosheide Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Due to its use as a military training area in the heart of the Senne, it is not managed and little reshaped, so that this open landscape, which is home …

Ems Springs

Highlight • River

The Ems rises from the seepage spring in the Moosheide nature reserve. First a small stream, which later grows into a river. Since I am usually in the Ems-Auen in …

September 7, 2024,Heideland 🌾🐑 Rundwanderweg Hövelhof mit Emsquellen 💦

📍 Heidelandweg 🐑🌾💜 Hövelhof circular hiking trail

A good starting point is the hiking car park 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐜𝐡. From here you go on soft natural paths through beautiful pine forests. Again and again you come across large clearings that end in a sea of heather 💜. Only the semi-wild Senner horses are well hidden. Instead we came across a large flock …

Nice little hiking tour at the Emsquellen, which are always worth a trip.

A small group that is quite relaxed in this weather. The Moosheide around the Ems, Kroll and Fuhrlnach is a popular excursion destination and even in rainy weather there was still a lot going on. Some of the wet meadows were very wet and couldn't be crossed with low shoes without getting your feet wet. 💪😃

The perfect day for the Moosheide
Bright blue sky and sun and still "only" 21 degrees
So you could enjoy the walk perfectly and get your fill of the purple heather....❤️😍

From the parking lot of the Emsquellen Information Center we went on this beautiful round.
The path led almost exclusively over natural paths.
The fresh green, combined with the singing of the birds and the warm sunlight, made the hike a close-to-nature experience away from the hustle and bustle.

It is a dream to see the heather in bloom, when large areas are aglow with the delicate lilac shade of heather. And that's exactly what I'm hoping for from the Heideland circular hiking trail near Hövelhof.

The path leads through a light pine forest and is mainly bordered by low blueberry bushes. Occasionally I can also discover small, dried …

September 4, 2022,HEIDEwitzka - EMSig was los an der Quelle!

Last year I wanted to do this lap during the heather blossom, but somehow I didn't make it.

So today I made up for it and after half an hour I wished I had been there two hours earlier. But I just thought, where the €9 ticket is no longer available, you don't have to get up with the chickens …
