The Schnaakenmoor, which as a nature reserve also includes the area of the Groten Moor and the Spitzdorfer Moorflagen, is located in the beautiful Hamburg forest district of Klövensteen, and that is a popular destination for day trippers from Altona to Wedel in the west of the Hanseatic city.

The area gives an impression of the former extensive moorland landscape. Peat moss and cotton grass grow on the areas, which have been rewetted since 1983.

Buttermoor/Butterbargsmoor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Buttermoor / Butterbargsmoor nature reserve is located in the municipalities of Holm and Wedel in the Pinneberg district. This nature reserve is approximately 105 hectares in size and has been under nature protection since 1992, as it is a residual island of the moor and heath landscape, which was still connected approximately 100 years ago, between the three municipalities and Hamburg-Sülldorf.

After the ice age, the bog area was created in a drainless sink made of boulder clay. The process of silting then led to the formation of bogs. On the southwestern edge, on the other hand, flying sands were deposited and led to the formation of inland dunes. It is one of the nutrient-poor moorlands with the typical flora and offers a habitat for numerous highly specialized and highly endangered plant and animal species. So you can find bell heather, pipe grass and broom heath growing on the dunes. The moor area is of great importance for breeding and resting birds. This is how snipe, lapwings, teals and waterballs live in this area. In addition to amphibians, various reptile species have their habitat here. The many species of insects provide a rich food supply for the bat species living in the nature reserve.
