    The 521-hectare moor is the largest remaining contiguous raised bog in the Schleswig-Holstein hills. Together with the neighboring Einfelder See, the Dosenmoor, a nine-square-kilometer-large Dosensee (Dose Lake), was formed during the last Ice Age in a hollow between sandur and young moraine, and later evolved from a fen into a raised bog. The Dosenmoor has a peat thickness of up to eight meters and was designated a nature reserve and a Habitats Directive (FFH) area in 1981. FFH areas are special protected areas designated under the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive and serve to protect plants (flora), animals (fauna), and habitats (habitat types).

    The name Dosenmoor may originate from a Holstein peasant knight named Daso de Ennigge (Daso from Innien, a village west of Neumünster), who lived in the mid-12th century and gave his name to the Dosen villages.

    Settlement in the area can be documented as far back as 8000 BC.

    However, it could also have a different origin.

    The term "Dose" refers to several small moors in the Emsland region, surrounded by geest.

      Here is the entrance from the Einfelder See to the Flaschenmoor nature reserve. You can collect great impressions. The boardwalk with the moor nature trail is particularly recommended.

        overwhelming, new impressions on every corner. The 521 hectare moor is the largest contiguous upland moor in Schleswig-Holstein. Together with the neighboring Einfelder See, the Dosenmoor, as nine square kilometers large Dosensee, was created by the last Ice Age in a hollow between sander and young moraine and later from a flat moor to one Become a high moor.
        The name Dosenmoor perhaps goes back to a Holstein peasant knight named Daso de Ennigge (Daso from Innien, a village west of Neumünster), who lived in the middle of the 12th century and is the namesake for the Dosendörfer. Another interpretation derives the name from the Emsland, where several small moors that are surrounded by Geest are called cans.
