Cycle Paths and Routes
The Ewiges Meer Route runs through Großheide. It is a 32-kilometre circular cycle tour through the raised bog region. Großheide also has a well-developed network of cycle paths suitable for cycle tourists.
Culture and History
The Forest and Moor Museum is housed in a former village school building on the edge of the raised bog, next to the Berumerfehn Forest. It explains the raised bog landscape, its flora and fauna, and its reclamation. By arrangement, the museum offers guided tours and educational programmes for school classes and groups.
The Berumerfehn Canal was constructed from 1794 onwards to transport peat northwards by waterway. The Schoofsche Mühle is a 20.5-metre-high gallery Dutch windmill that was relocated from Carolinensiel to Berumerfehn.
The Kompaniehaus was built in 1830 as a recreation house for members of the Norder Fehn Society; the building is listed and contains a hotel restaurant.
