Dänikhorster Moor

Fantastically beautiful tour through the moor.

The nature reserve, marked NSG WE 181, was 91 hectares in size. It was fully part of the FFH area "Fintlandsmoor und Dänikhorster Moor". The area has been under nature protection since October 24, 1987. In June 2017, it opened up in the newly designated "Fintlandsmoor und Dänikhorster Moor" nature reserve. The district of Ammerland was responsible for the lower nature conservation authority.
The area is southwest of Bad Zwischenahn and northwest of Edewecht. It consists of two remains of raised bogs that have remained uncultivated. The high moor lies on the edge of the Ammerländer Geest within the Hunte-Leda moor lowland. The northern part drains via ditches to the Ollenbäke, which flows into the Große Süderbäke at Apen. This becomes Aper Tief in Apen. The southern part drains via ditches to the Aue, which flows together with the Soeste near Barßel (now known as the Nordloher Tief) and forms the Barßeler Tief.

This connecting route leads from the Fintlandsstraße to the Krummen Kamp in the direction of Osterscheps and to the Frerichs Placken in the direction of Dänikhorst. Very scenic, but also challenging. 💪🚲
