Lentföhrden: Outdoor pool, moorland and farm life

For your trip planning, Lentföhrden offers three distinct themes: a seasonal outdoor pool, the history of a landscape shaped by moors and forests, and farming with milk processing. Depending on your interests, you can focus on summer recreation, landscape history or regional produce.

Summer at the outdoor pool

The outdoor pool in Lentföhrden opened in 1969 and operates every year from June 1 to August 31. Admission is free. If you are planning a visit, schedule it during this season and check the latest operating information in advance. The opening marks the history of the pool; for planning a visit today, the key point is its set operating period.

Moorland and landscape history

Historically, Lentföhrden’s landscape was shaped by extensive moors and forests. This landscape also provided a habitat for the black grouse. Some moorland areas remain, and restoration measures aim to return them to their original condition. This creates a clear link between the historical landscape and today’s restoration goal: the once-extensive moors are part of the area’s history, while the remaining moorland areas are the focus of restoration efforts.

Another landscape reference is the Grootmoor, between Weddelbrook, Lentföhrden and Heidmoor. It features typical raised bog landscape, and you can experience nature along agricultural tracks. Access and trail conditions may change, so check the conditions for your planned visit before setting out.
