The Schwansmoor and the much smaller Kranichmoor are two protected moorland areas near Süderlügum, covering a total of 84 hectares. Peat was previously mined here, but was subsequently renaturalized. The area has been a nature reserve since 1968. The moorland itself is not accessible; it is completely surrounded by forest.
