Fürstenkuhle
The district of Borken is full of small and large nature experiences. One of these is the Fürstenkuhle nature reserve, which is located north-east of Gescher-Hochmoor.
The approximately 99-hectare area is a remnant of the White Fens. This was once the largest moorland area in Münsterland, which still covered an impressive 4,500 hectares of uncultivated moorland around 1900!
A detour on a cycle tour
So if you want to enjoy pure nature, the Fürstenkuhle is just the place for you - always with respect for the animals and plants, of course. You can combine your trip here with a cycle tour, as the Flamingoroute runs along the southern edge of the area.
Leave your bike behind and set off on the circular hiking trail, which will take you around two hours. In some places, a narrow path winds its way over the peat cover, which is sometimes a metre thick. Here you get the feeling of walking on cushions
