Tips from the Community
Here, where the signs "Spülfeld" stand, the camp's feces were dumped until the Rieselfelder were completed. Where the new building stands, there was a pumping station from 1906 that pumped the wastewater from the military camp to the Rieselfelder.

The Nordoe Inland Dunes are now a 407-hectare nature reserve and part of the National Natural Heritage. The area is characterized by a mix of diverse habitats: open sandy areas, heathlands, and wetlands. There are both pine-covered inland dunes and scrub-like oak woodlands. The Nordoe Inland Dunes are an important refuge for rare and endangered animal and plant species. The ecosystem depends on the nutrient-poor conditions and open landscape. To maintain these conditions, the area is now managed through extensive grazing with Galloways, Highland cattle, and Exmoor ponies.
