Venner Moor, Nature reserve in Senden, Germany
The Venner Moor spans 149 hectares of marshland, lakes, and birch bogs, providing essential habitats for numerous plant and animal species.
Established as a protected area in 1954, this 6,000-year-old moorland was initially much larger and has significantly shaped the landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The reserve demonstrates German commitment to environmental preservation through its classification as a Naturschutzgebiet, following IUCN Category IV guidelines.
Visitors can explore the nature reserve through maintained trails, with an average visit lasting 1.5 hours, and dogs are permitted when kept on leashes.
The reserve contains nationally endangered adders and functions as a research site for wetland ecosystem studies near the Dortmund-Ems Canal.
