    On the approximately 1 km long and 1.5 to 3 meter wide footbridge with information boards, visitors learn a lot about the three-year excavations on the nearby PR 6 (historic boardwalk) and about the moor landscape. You can follow the course of the boardwalk along the already rewetted moorland via a "moor trail" that runs along the original route of the path. At the end, a viewing platform on a "healthy skin area" that has never been cleared of peat offers a beautiful view over the moor. This creates an experience point that conveys cultural and natural heritage in a unique way. Benches invite you to linger.

        The Moorweg im Aschener Moor, abbreviated Pr VI in technical language, is a prehistoric moor path originally 4.2 km long, which runs in the Aschener Moor west of Aschen in the Diepholz district of Lower Saxony. It was created in the pre-Roman Iron Age, probably around 46 BC. BC and is one of the longest boardwalks in northwest Germany.[1] The path construction has been preserved to this day due to the favorable conditions for preserving organic material in the moor. Large parts of the path have been destroyed due to mechanical peat mining up to the present day. In the center of the moor, an approximately 350 meter long remaining piece of untouched moorland remains permanently preserved. At its edge, a 950 m long barrier-free footbridge with a viewing platform, built between 2019 and 2021, runs along the course of the former moor path. It is intended to make the prehistoric moor path and the moor tangible for tourists.
