Hühnermoor, Nature reserve in Harsewinkel, Germany
The Hühnermoor spans 8.5 hectares of protected wetland between two sand dunes, featuring nutrient-poor and acidic soil conditions that support specialized plant life.
The area received its first protection status in 1938, followed by enhanced directives in 1965 when the Regierungspräsident in Detmold established formal conservation measures.
The reserve functions as an ecological archive, with pollen layers in the peat storing information about vegetation patterns from thousands of years ago.
Visitors can observe the wetland ecosystem from designated paths throughout the year, while access to sensitive areas remains restricted for conservation purposes.
The Small Red Damselfly population thrives in this habitat, representing one of the threatened species within North Rhine-Westphalia that finds refuge here.
