The platform and seating have been dismantled. Hopefully, a new hut will be built here, as some posts are still standing.

Aschendorf Moor Trail Hikers can experience a piece of authentic Papenburg on this trail. The Aschendorf Moor Trail is a 1.8-kilometer circular route that leads through the "Aschendorfer Obermoor / Wildes Moor" nature reserve. Various information panels provide information about the flora and fauna of this unique habitat, parts of which have been preserved here and are being regenerated in rewetting areas. The panels also point out the areas of still-living raised bog, which continues to grow upwards year after year: a few mineral salts from the air and rainwater are sufficient for the continuous peat formation. The hike along the Moor Trail is particularly attractive from June to September, when heather and campanula bloom pink – a magnificent sight, especially from the viewing platform. The Aschendorf Moor Trail can be explored independently year-round, and guided tours for groups are available upon reservation.

Nice view of part of the moor. Covered but not necessarily suitable for a longer break as seating is missing or damaged. Unfortunately also very littered...

A stunningly beautiful moor with many birds. Lovely paths, but sturdy shoes are recommended, as some paths can be very wet (depending on the time of year). There's a covered viewing platform.

Another Higligt on the Dortmund-Ems Canal. If the ferry is on the other side, call or ring the bell.
