In the north-west of Hamburg - in the Hummelsbüttler Feldmark - is the Raakmoor nature reserve, which with its 18 hectares is one of the smallest nature reserves in the Hanseatic city. The current transitional moor was originally a raised moor that was destroyed by peat removal and drainage so that the area could be used for agricultural purposes. Remains of bends and buried trenches still bear witness to this today. The monotypic flora disappeared except for a few remnants.
The Raakmoor is now going through the first phase of renaturation after being rewetted.

On one side you look at the dammed retention basin, the other side gives insights into the wild moor areas. Just beautiful!

The Raakmoor is the remainder of a raised bog that was created in the headwaters of one of the Alster tributaries after the last Ice Age. The nature reserve consists mostly of quarry forest, but has a regenerating moorland in the center. With 18 hectares, the Raakmoor is one of the smallest nature reserves in Hamburg.
