Weißes Venn, Protected area in Reken, Germany
The Weisses Venn spans 432 hectares of land in North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring moors, heaths, and nutrient-poor sandy soils with various water bodies.
This natural reserve gained official protection status in 2011, incorporating sections of the former Hülstener Wacholderheide nature reserve into its boundaries.
The area represents a traditional German landscape conservation approach, combining agricultural heritage with natural habitat preservation through structured management programs.
Visitors can access designated hiking trails around the protected zone, while certain sections remain restricted due to their location within military training grounds.
The reserve contains rare plant species such as sundews and marsh orchids, alongside specialized fauna including moor frogs and northern wheatears.
