    The Poleur-Venn features a didactic educational trail that provides information about the development and balance of the main ecosystems in the High Fens (raised and low peat bogs, dry moors, streams). Along the way, display panels with information about the special features of the High Fens have been installed. 

    Author’s recommendation

    It is the only educational trail in the High Fens that is allowed during periods of fire danger (red flag).
