Sheep in Pestruper Heide

Highlight • Natural

The sheep are responsible for nature conservation in the Pestrup Heath; without them the heath would become overgrown. In addition, parts of the heath have been cleared, i.e. bushes have been removed.

Pestruper Gräberfeld Heathland

Highlight • Natural Monument

Most of the graves in the huge burial ground date from the Bronze and pre-Roman Iron Age. The so-called "royal tombs" were not tombs but cremation places for the dead.

Pestruper Moor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Prestrupper Moor is a slope pressure moor due to the difference in altitude to the Prestrupper burial ground in the direction of Hunte.
The hike through the moor and burial ground is a beautiful contrast.
