About 2,000 years ago, a boy died under unclear circumstances and was sunk into the moor. It was not until 1922 that his remains were found while digging peat. The bog body is exhibited in the Natural History Museum in Oldenburg.

Hiking

The Kayhauser Moor is a rewetted moor near Bad Zwischenahn. The origins of the health resort in Bad Zwischenahn go back to this moor, in which the moorland used for Kurzwecke has been and is being mined. On a hiking trail through the moor you can admire the typical natural landscape of a living moor.
