The Raakmoor is the remainder of a raised bog that arose after the last ice age in the headwaters of one of the Alster tributaries. The nature reserve consists mostly of swamp forest, but has a regenerating moor area in the center. At 33 hectares, the Raakmoor is one of the smallest nature reserves in Hamburg.

The former high moor was destroyed by peat removal and drainage in order to use it for landscape purposes. But now, with a little help, the area is in the process of getting back to its original state. Due to the removal of peat from the moor and the associated changes, the Raakmoor has a vegetation that is atypical for a moor, with many coniferous and deciduous trees. But these places are also turning more and more into broken forest. This shows that the area is changing back to a raised bog. In the meantime, moor-typical plants such as bog lily, heather, peat moss or the insectivorous sundew can be discovered again in the Raakmoor. In between there are toads, adders, numerous species of dragonflies and rare butterflies that call Raakmoor home.

The paths in the nature reserve are well developed for hiking. There are romantic hiking trails along the watercourses, and there are also footbridges for crossing the wet moor areas.
