The elevation of the "Großer Ahlen" is a geest island in the middle of the Ahlenmoor. A mixed oak forest with acidic soil could develop here.
This type of forest used to be widespread in north-west Germany. In particular, the intensification of forestry use with the planting of spruce and Douglas fir has meant that this type of forest is far less common today. The mixed oak forests are of great importance as food, habitat and retreat for native animal species. There are several paths of different lengths, a large stone grave, anthills to watch the busy forest inhabitants and interesting signs that loosen up the walk.
