The Dosenmoor is located north of Neumünster, right next to the Einfelder See, and covers an area of 521 hectares. It is one of the best preserved raised bogs in Schleswig-Holstein and invites those seeking relaxation to its hiking trails, viewing areas and an educational trail. Many rare plants and animals are adapted to the special living conditions in the raised bog and can be easily observed from some of the trails. For example, you might notice blue frogs at the waters from March to April. These are the colorful male moor frogs. The blue coloring can only be observed at this time of year, when the frog man calls for his chosen one. Although the Dosenmoor is one of the best preserved in our country and some rewetting measures have already been implemented, it still shows many traces of human intervention in the natural system, such as the subsidence of the bog, which was caused by drainage. The drained bog was previously used to extract peat. The Doosenmoor has been a nature reserve since 1982 and has been re-wetted since then. Sheep and goats graze here so that the areas do not grow over again, but provide light and space for the typical moor plants such as peat mosses, heather plants and the rare sundew. The Dosenmoor offers a great diversity of species, especially birds. A walk on the paths through the Dosenmoor is definitely a worthwhile experience. https://www.stiftungsland.de/was-wir-tun/erlebnisraumgestalter/karte/stiftungslandgebiete/dosenmoor/
