The Dubringer Moor (Upper Sorbian Dubrjenske bahno) is a nature reserve (NSG) in the district of Bautzen in northern Saxony. It is located in the three municipalities of Bernsdorf, Hoyerswerda and Wittichenau and covers an area of around 1711 hectares. [1] This makes it one of the largest nature reserves in Saxony.

In addition to forest and grassland areas, the nature reserve also includes several still waters (mainly ponds) and moor areas. The bog basin of the Dubringer Moors is made up of intermediate and flat moors (including an open regenerated moor) and belongs to the type of flow-through moors. The area is considered to be the largest still preserved bog complex in Upper Lusatia. [2]

The nature reserve, which was designated for the first time in 1995, has the official identification D78. Due to its ecological importance and later designations, it is now part of the Natura 2000 network of protected areas of the European Union. Since 2011, the only slightly smaller FFH area Dubringer Moor (EU code DE-4550-301) has existed almost congruently with the NSG. [1] [3] In addition, the NSG, supplemented by some open land areas bordering on the east, became a European bird sanctuary

The formation of the Dubringer Moor can be traced back to the Elster Ice Age. Three terminal moraine walls were formed, which enclose the area of the moor like a horseshoe that is open to the north. The water accumulated within this horseshoe area and peat could form from dead plant remains. Fresh peat forms a layer of about one millimeter per year. Since the peat layer of the Dubringer Moor is six meters thick, an age of 10,000 years can be deduced.
