Cloppenburg Geest

The Cloppenburg Geest consists of elevated sandy terrain with parallel channels that form distinctive ridges across the northern German landscape.

During the Saale glaciation period, boulder clay deposits covered the outwash sands, creating the foundation of the current geological structure.

The region maintains traditional agricultural practices that have shaped the land use patterns and local farming techniques through generations.

Located at coordinates 52.8333 latitude and 8.16667 longitude, the area provides opportunities for hiking and exploration of geological formations.

The terrain features numerous meltwater valleys that played an essential role in developing the current river network system.
