Recker Moor Observation Tower

Fabulous moorland surrounded by wet meadows. Great avifauna. Breeding black, brown, robin and bluethroats can be observed regularly in spring.

Recker Moor

Very nice area, unfortunately there is no footpath parallel to the moor road, so that a circumnavigation of the Recker Moors is only possible by accepting an approximately 2 km …

Moor Lakes in Natur- und Geopark TERRA.vita

Highlight • Lake

In winter and spring, the water surfaces expand and provide a habitat for insects and frogs. In summer, most of the areas dry out.

March 25, 2023,Eine steife Brise 💨🌧💨🌈💨🌧 ging durchs Moor

... and so do we! 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️
Petrus had downpours, hail (ouch) and strong wind with decent gusts in the repertoire for us.
Today the moor was rather unspectacular. The only exciting thing was a few geese and especially those sections of the trail that were very wet. We managed to get home with dry feet. 😅
And of course I …

December 17, 2022,Recker Moor, 8.00 Uhr, -5 Grad 🥶❄️

I haven't been to the Recker Moor for far too long.
And since the weather app showed me almost constant rain for the next week, I spontaneously wanted to go this morning. My husband gave up thanks 🥶 and said goodbye to me with the words: "Drive carefully! Have fun and take care of yourself! 😘".
I only walked 20 …

September 4, 2022,Durchs Recker und Mettinger Moor vom Kanal aus 04.09.2022

After I woke up early and my knee signaled that it had recovered well, I made my way to Recke very early. It was a very varied tour, with beautiful views and many different types of paths. The heather has already faded in places and it is so dry that I have almost no water apart from the canal, although …

May 8, 2022,Wie heißt eigentlich der Plural von Kuckuck?

I've never thought about that before. But this morning I had heard more than one cuckoo. But not only him. Larch, stonechat, tits, finches, the curlew and many other voices could be heard.
Lots of deer showed up today.
The cotton grass is blooming in abundance at the moment.
I love it in the Recker Moor!!! 🤩🥰😍

May 21, 2023,Recker Moor zur Wollgrasblüte

This morning I went to Recker Moor with my son and Maya. I wanted to see the blooming cotton grass. It was already visible in many places. 🤩 Nice tour, although it got really oppressive at times when the temperatures rose. 😮‍💨👍 and Maya then took a cooling bath in the canal. 🐕😃
My son then had an encounter with …

March 13, 2022,Der Ruf des Regenbrachvogels

... lured me to the Recker Moor again this morning. 🥰 But not only his voice could be heard. The approaching spring makes many birds sing merrily. On the way back across the Mettinger Moor I could see a larger group of wild geese resting. As expected, it was a beautiful, natural round.
