Moorhus Nature Conservation Center Großer Torfmoor

Why can't you sink into the bog, but get stuck? What about the will-o'-the-wisps in the moor? Anyone who visits the very lively and vivid exhibition in the Moorhus learns why and also a lot about the history of the Great Peat Bog and its species-rich habitat. This shows why the conservation and regeneration of moors are so important today - not least because, according to estimates, the drained moors in Germany emit as much climate-damaging gases as air traffic.

Nice starting point for a circumnavigation of the moor. Big parking lot. Cafe is open frequently.
A moor museum is connected.

The Moorhus is always open Wed - Sat from 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. The entrance fee for adults is €2.50.In the exhibition you get some insights into the Great Peat Bog, because the museum is specially tailored to this bog, its formation, its former economic importance and its future importance. In addition to some environmental aspects, there is also the animal and plant world to admire, but also extremely interesting: a film with old video recordings of peat extraction and the history of this landscape in the valley of the Urweser, which once flowed here towards the Netherlands and not via Nienburg to Bremen. All this has been worked up briefly but very informatively for the Moorhus and thus offers a good insight into the Great Peat Bog.After that, you can start a tour from the large car park and experience the animals live.
