Hahnenmoor is a protected area covering more than 600 hectares. Dohren's Hahnenmoor is also described as a natural highlight spanning around 600 hectares.
Historically, Hahnenmoor was intensively used for peat extraction. Rewetted peat-cutting areas have enabled the return of rare dragonflies, moor frogs, and adders. A viewing tower in Hahnenmoor offers particularly good views of cotton grass in late spring. The historic peat works in Hahnenmoor serves as an industrial monument, cultural center, and educational site about peat extraction.
Dohren is known for speedway races, which regularly attract visitors. Every October, MSC Dohren hosts an international speedway race under floodlights. The Dohren floodlit speedway event includes fireworks, a DJ, and an after-show party. The first dedicated floodlit speedway race took place in 2000.
Dohren's historical heritage includes the Dreiherrenstein: the boundary stone was erected in 1652 and is maintained by the Dohren local heritage association. The Catholic St. Bernardus Church was built in 1902 and is a central cultural and spiritual landmark of Dohren. In Ahmsen, there are six open-air galleries featuring sculptures and paintings.
The Hasetal Explorer Tour combines cycling with visits to ancient megalithic tombs and historic buildings in natural surroundings. The Hase is used by paddlers and is free of motorized boat traffic.
