The Möhne floodplains impressively demonstrate how lively and diverse a natural floodplain can be. Meadows, pastures and forests are in close contact with the surrounding streams and the Möhne, whose changing water levels determine the rhythm of the landscape.
On some days of the year, the water rises to such an extent that plants and animals have to survive in an environment shaped by the river. It is precisely this changeability that creates valuable habitats in which rare and endangered species find ideal conditions. The natural area impressively conveys how dynamically and at the same time sensitively a floodplain ecosystem functions. Visitors experience a landscape that changes visibly throughout the year and constantly reveals new facets.
The Möhne floodplain nature trail is particularly recommended, which circles the Möhne floodplains for almost 3 km and is also suitable for people with walking difficulties.
