    Especially worthwhile in the early morning hours.

    The boardwalk is only partially suitable for cyclists.

    Even if hikers don't like it, cycling isn't prohibited here 😉

      8000 year old Pietzmoor

      The Pietzmoor is located on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve near Schneverdingen and today still covers an area of around 2.5 km².

      The formation of the raised bog was favored by the hollow location and by water-impermeable clay layers in the subsoil. Profile investigations carried out in 1975 showed that the maximum peat thickness is 7.50 meters.

      If one assumes an annual growth of the peat-forming sphagnum (peat mosses) of around 1 millimeter, then the age of the Pietzmoor is almost 8,000 years.

      Thanks to successful renaturation, the Pietzmoor can now grow again and will remain as a "history book of nature".
