Tips

Of course, this boardwalk is not the ideal bike path and not intended as such. But the bog is so beautiful and worth seeing, that it is still worthwhile to build the small detour. For a friendly togetherness, you should push your bike but briefly, at least if pedestrians are in sight.

The Pietzmoor lies on the southern edge of the nature reserve Lüneburger Heide and today still covers an area of approx. 2.5 km². The emergence of the raised bog was favored by the hollow layer and by water-impermeable clay layers in the underground. Profile surveys conducted in 1975 revealed that the maximum peat thickness was 7.50 meters. Assuming an annual growth of peat-forming campaigns (peat mosses) of about 1 millimeter, then the age of Pietzmoores is almost 8,000 years.
The Pietzmoor has undergone a rather atypical development. It's not, like most other moors, formed out of a nutrient-rich lake that has turned into a shallow moor and has evolved over time into a bog. Instead, cottongrass, sedum and peat moss species settled here very early in the winter after the ice age in a water-rich depression and continued to breed them. This emergence of raised bog is characteristic of many moorlands, with the acidic, siliceous underground playing a crucial role.
A centuries-long use would almost have meant the end for this gem. Thanks to successful renaturation, the Pietzmoor can now grow again and remains as a "history book of nature".
