Nocturnal moor hike
In the footsteps of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff

Nocturnal moorland hike: nature and literature in the Emsdetten Fens

The moor hike takes you right into the heart of the unique upland moor area of the Emsdetten Fens. Inspired by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, this tour combines an experience of nature with literary echoes and a special atmosphere.

On winding paths, participants experience the moor with all their senses: the gentle rustling of the vegetation, the soft ground and the special atmosphere of this protected landscape. Reality and imagination become blurred - because the moor is both fascinating and mysterious.

During the 2.5-hour hike, nature is explained and at the same time placed in its cultural context. Stories and impressions bring the place to life and create an intense experience between knowledge and perception.

The moorland walk is suitable for anyone who wants to experience nature in a different way - atmospheric, varied and with a touch of poetry.

  • 2.5-hour moorland hike

Nocturnal moorland hike
On the trail of the famous poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff through the Emsdetten Fens
Emsdettener Venn Nature Reserve

In the footsteps of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, certainly the most famous female poet, the high moorland area "Emsdettener Venn" will be presented on 19 September (Saturday) at 6.30 pm under the motto "Oh, it's scary to walk across the moor...". will be presented.

An approx. 2 ½ -hour moorland walk in the fens is a challenge for the eyes, ears, nose and senses. Is there really a spring under every step, does the hay rustle and is it really spooky? It certainly makes sense to take a guardian angel with you!

Reality and fantasy make for two entertaining hours and then the question:

"Was it really scary to walk across the moor?
