Gildehauser Venn, Nature reserve in Bad Bentheim, Germany.

The Gildehauser Venn spans 650 hectares of wetlands, featuring birch forests, moor ponds, and dune ridges in northwest Lower Saxony.

Two observation towers within the reserve allow visitors to observe the local wildlife, including golden orioles, marsh owls, and numerous rare bird species.
