The newly created small biotope at Raßingvenn is protected behind a hedgerow and may not be entered. 🚶♂️⛔

Beautiful wet meadows and boggy hollows can be seen here in the large Büngerner-Dingdener Heath. A large, valuable biotope worthy of protection.

Unfortunately, the path is impassable. It's a shame we had to take a detour, as it's unfortunately on asphalt.

At the Hoogenkamp/Raßingvenn junction is the hub of the Büngerner Dingdener Heide, which is designated as a nature reserve. The Fääne project (with an area of around 9 hectares) is part of the Hohe Mark Nature Park (with a total of 1978 sq km). The area/meadows towards the southeast are the so-called Fääne (dialect = Fän/Vän = Venn). By purchasing this area, a connection was created between the western and eastern areas of the Büngerner Dingdener Heide and the areas were divided and redesigned. 2.1 hectares of arable land and 2.9 hectares of INTENSIVE grassland became 5 hectares of EXTENSIVE grassland with plants from moist and poor meadows and pastures. 4 hectares of mixed pine-oak forest became 4 hectares of mixed birch-oak forest. If you follow the Raßingvenn further towards the forest (harder for bicycles - better to walk), you will see the first measures of the intended forest conversion. Here, mixed coniferous forest is to be converted into mixed oak forest. The honorary chairwoman of the "Fääne" foundation at the time was Gisela Klingler. A memorial stone stands at this spot in her honor.

Nice bench under the trees away from the road. Idyllic and quiet location. Diagonally opposite is a historic draw well on the meadow.

There is a stork's nest nearby. In summer, when the storks have offspring, you can see the parents busily searching for food.
