Tips

November 6, 2025

From the edge of the provincial moor, you look out over a wide, damp landscape where pools of water, cushions of sphagnum moss, and islands of open grass alternate. Between the wet depressions, the white tufts of cotton grass gleam, and the calls of snipe can be heard from the reeds. The area is one of the best-preserved remnants of the Bourtanger Moor and has been a protected area since 2013. Through rewetting, typical raised bog species such as sphagnum mosses, sundews, and moor frogs have re-established themselves here.
