The nature reserve with the sign NSG LÜ 133 is 25  hectares in size. It is located north of Völkersen on the edge of the Spanger Holz and protects an upland moor area that has been changed by drainage and peat extraction. The moor is supposed to regenerate by rewetting .

The area has been a nature reserve since December 16, 1985. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the district of Verden.
