Niedersfeld itself is a district of the town of Winterberg in the Hochsauerland district. The region is known for its charming nature, and the Hochheide is a characteristic feature. These landscapes are characterized by open, extensive heathland, moorland and unique flora and fauna.
Hochheide often offers magnificent views and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. These areas are often home to rare plant species that are adapted to the special conditions of raised bogs. The landscape changes depending on the season and offers a blaze of color in spring and summer.
800 meters high, the area is located on the border with Hessen on the northern slope of the Clemensberg and has been a nature reserve since 1955.Heidschnucken graze there, acting as "biological lawnmowers" and thus ensuring the preservation of the Heid. Birds such as the cuckoo, capercaillie and nightjar build their nests. Hobby biologists even discover arctic and alpine plants in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve.
