Particularly worthwhile in the early morning hours.

The boardwalk is only partially suitable for cyclists.

Even if hikers don't like it, cycling is not 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".
