This part of the moor was separated by the construction of the dike. During storm surges it partially floats, hence the name.

The floating moor is so named because it is a unique relic of the history of the Jade Bay. During high storm surges, the salt water pushes under the huge peat body and lifts it up. 1000 years ago, a third of the area of today's Jade Bay consisted of raised bog, which was gradually “cleared away” by heavy storm surges. After the bay was diked, the floating moor remained. Due to repeated break-offs when floating up and down again, it is now only nine hectares in size and will eventually disappear completely.
Building a solid path in the soft and moving ground is a special challenge. “You shouldn't drive the piles too deep, because that would essentially nail the moor to the clay underneath and if it floats up, the peat could tear.

It has been exactly 15 years since the Floating Moor created an opportunity to experience this very special place in the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. At that time, a group of young people from an international work camp and the Wesermarsch youth workshops, under the project management of the national park administration, had built a boardwalk that leads through the moor to a bird watching hut. This path was now getting old. In between, it was mended as best as possible by the national park rangers Susanne Koschel and Annelie Hedden, the campsite groundskeeper Marcel Sakowitz and the crew from the national park adventure station (NEST). But in the end it was so crooked and crooked that a replacement had to be brought in. This time too, the National Park Service
