The nature reserve Bockholter Berge enchants with its rustic landscape and vegetation, which consists of heath, juniper shrubs, gnarled oaks, dry grasslands and pine mixed forests. You can cycle well through the area, for example on the Ems cycle path. If you want to dive deeper into nature, it is advisable to turn off the bike and to explore the nature reserve on the narrow trails.
