In the past, when there were still vast heathlands, Heidschnucke sheep were important suppliers of wool and fertilizer; today, they primarily serve as four-legged landscape managers. Through their constant grazing on emerging woody plants, grasses such as wavy hair-grass, and the heather itself, the Heidschnucke are the most important landscape managers. The heath therefore remains short and the nutrient-poor soil is preserved. The name "Schnucke" comes from "Schnökern" (nibbling), because the Heidschnucke loves variety and enjoys eating heather, grass, and wild herbs.

A beautiful hiking and cycling route leads here through the Buxtehude Moor. Benches are available to enjoy the surrounding nature 💚. The moors near Buxtehude are a nature and EU bird protection area of approximately 1317 hectares, in the Harburger Elbmarschen (natural main unit 670) in the Harburg and Stade districts.
