Fenne

The Fenne Weide consists of low-lying grassland surrounded by drainage ditches, forming a structured pattern visible in high-resolution satellite images.

The word 'fenn' originates from ancient Germanic language, denoting swamps, moors, and low-lying grasslands used for agricultural purposes throughout centuries.

North Frisian farmers maintain these traditional pastures primarily for cattle grazing, incorporating water holes known as 'Kuhle' for livestock hydration.

Natural drainage channels within the Fenne create valuable wetland habitats where cattails, reeds, and marsh frogs establish their presence.

The soil profile of Fenne Weide displays a distinct structure between parallel channels, resulting from land reclamation techniques specific to this region.
