great moorland landscape, a must-see

A little information from the internet: The "Ochsenmoor" nature reserve is located between Lake Dümmer, the western Dümmer lowlands, and the towns of Lemförde, Dielingen, and Hunteburg. It features fens, small and large sedge marshes, reed beds, and isolated marsh forests. Extensively managed grassland also characterizes the landscape. The 1,029-hectare protected area is part of the "Dümmer" FFH area and the "Dümmer" EU bird sanctuary. This creates ideal conditions for breeding and resting birds. Ruffs, common snipe, and greylag geese, in particular, can be observed resting here in autumn and winter, as can numerous other bird species.
