Möhneauen

Nature reserve/natural monument | Naturerlebnispfad

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 certain days of the year, the water rises so high that plants and animals must adapt to a riverine environment. It is precisely this variability that creates valuable habitats where rare and endangered species find ideal conditions. This natural area powerfully illustrates how dynamic—and at the same time, how sensitive—a floodplain ecosystem is. Visitors experience a landscape that visibly changes over the course of the year and constantly reveals new facets.

We highly recommend the Möhneaue Naturerlebnispfad, which circles the Möhneauen for just under 3 km and is also suitable for people with limited mobility.
