Wittmoor Nature Reserve

Whoever enters the Wittmoor on darkening autumn afternoons can grasp what makes the moor so unique in literature: its peculiar, more morbid than vital landscape, its also oppressive silence, the cold dampness creeping through the clothes. And he will remember the legends and fairy tales or even some poems in which the moor set the stage for events that were as wondrous as they were terrible.
In fact, the Wittmoor offers the most impressive picture of a former raised bog in Hamburg. Many individual plant remains can still be seen on the tapping edges of the mighty layers of peat, which are up to three meters high.For the botanist or forest scientist, the Wittmoor is a treasure trove for the documentation of the vegetation and forest history since the last Ice Age and also for the layman an impressive illustration of the millennia-long history of the formation of this moor, which is a nature reserve in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein .hamburg.de/wittmoor

Super nice area, the Wittmoor! Also the so-called "Lütt-Wittmoor" not omit

Take some time at sunset, let your gaze wander and enjoy the tranquility of nature!
