In the fall of 2025, the path was well-paved and passable. The Ribnitz Great Moor is a rain-fed bog, meaning it is fed solely by precipitation, which is "held" by the moss. The moss grows as a result, bulges up, forms peat, and grows... if it isn't drained. Here, too, peat was dug and the bog drained. Today, a worthwhile excursion trail leads through it, with information boards and benches.
