The Hiddeser Bent has been a nature reserve since 1950 and is the last surviving hillside bog in the Teutoburg Forest.

The word "Bent" means "peaty moor", which has formed here since 7,000 BC. Peat was mined here for many decades, resulting in numerous hillside terraces. After peat extraction ceased, a large area was reforested with spruce and pine trees.

Many rare plant species grow on the unwooded area, including 13 different species of peat moss and the insect-catching sundew.
At the northern edge of the Bent is a viewing platform set up by the Lippe Biological Station and the nature park, which offers sweeping views over the moor.
