The Poleur Fen has an educational trail that informs you about the development and balance of the most important ecosystems in the High Fens (high and low peat bogs, dry bogs, streams). On your way, you'll encounter panels with information on the distinctive features of the High Fens.
Author’s recommendation
This educational trail is the only one that is even open to the public when there is a fire hazard in High Fens (and when the red flag hissed).
