Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Bourtanger Moor - Veenland Nature Park. This outdoor paradise stretches from the Netherlands to Germany. Vast moorland landscapes with rare animals and plants, dreamy forests and rippling waters form the heart of the park. Adventure, learning and fun go hand in hand here and make the nature park an ideal excursion destination for families

Nature experiences for the whole family

The nature park is a habitat for endangered animal and plant species, a recreational area for nature lovers and a place to experience cultural treasures. Over 280 bird species are native to the area and, with a bit of luck, you may spot rare animals such as the adder or the moor frog.

At any time of year, nature in the Moor - Veenland Nature Park is completely different. In spring, the cotton grass covers the moor like a white carpet. Summer guarantees fun by the water and the blooming heather transforms the landscape into a sea of purple flowers. In autumn, the colorful forests invite you to go for a hike, and later in the year the snow-covered moor guarantees winter adventures. This creates unforgettable family moments.

Our tip: Use the various viewing platforms and towers to observe the animals. At the moor gates, an association of various museums, you can learn lots of interesting facts about the moor and its inhabitants.

One nature park - two countries - many possibilities

Whether by bike or on foot, use the boundless and cross-border routes for your own personal exploration tour. The various adventure and information trails are particularly popular with families, where you can get to know the Fullen Forest or the Nazarene Garden, for example.

How about a treasure hunt? With geocaching in the nature park, children can go on a treasure hunt with GPS devices. This is not only exciting, but also teaches a sense of direction, technical understanding and provides a new experience of nature.
