The Ellerau Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church and belongs to the Hamburg Diocese. The congregation currently has approximately 2,300 members. Daily at 6:00 p.m., the "peace ringing" of its bells invites everyone to remember and pray for the people of Ukraine.

According to a 1919 contract, peat extraction, which began around 1780, was to continue until the moor had completely disappeared. However, extraction was discontinued in 2018. The gradual renaturation and rewetting of the Himmelmoor had already begun. The "Himmelmoor Friends' Association" was founded in December 2005.

Even before reaching the Himmelsmoor, the landscape is swampy. From the north-east, paths lead to the moor, which are natural and mostly run over moorland. When you walk, you get a slightly drunk impression - no wonder, the ground trembles with every step! An incredibly beautiful feeling.

Simply a beautiful piece of earth. Here is something else from the network: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himmelmoor

Visitors can explore Schleswig-Holstein's largest raised bog on a nearly four-kilometer-long nature trail. It leads over soft peat soil, through birch forests, and along a boardwalk. Information boards along the trail provide information about the extraordinary flora and fauna. At three different locations, vantage points offer a beautiful view of the moor lake and the former peat mining areas.

You also regularly cross the tracks of the peat railway when you go for a walk. Incidentally, trips with the Lorenbahn are offered on certain dates. That must be a great experience too.

The third viewing platform is at the northern end of Nulldamm in an area called Kleiner Knust.

3 worthwhile viewing platforms are located directly on the moor nature trail. On a walk you pass them almost automatically. Thanks to the benches, they are also very suitable for a short hiking break.
