In 2008, after 100 years of peat extraction, the moor's restoration began. The pumping stations were dismantled, the peat dumps cleared, and the drainage ditches and extraction areas were extensively rewetted.
A pristine natural landscape with large shallow lakes has been almost restored. The raised bog is gradually regenerating.

Hiking

The Schönbek Moor (also known as the Great Moor) forms the border between Loop (Holstein) and Schönbek. The raised bog was previously used, as was common practice, for peat mining.
The area was not a municipality until 1888 and was incorporated into Dätgen, Loop and Schönbek in the same year. The Höllenau and the Olendieksau rivers, which flow into the Brahmsee, have their source in the Schönbek Moor. The moor thus lies on the watershed between the Stör and Wehrau river systems, which now flow into the Kiel Canal and used to flow into the Eider.
