ランゲルンの天然記念物・トップ20

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.

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.

The tracks of the peat railway run here. It is maintained and looked after by a working group and there is even the opportunity to take part in public train rides. A ride offers a different perspective of the moor area, but the rails are also a nice photo motif.

Artificially created hill with a park bench to enjoy the wonderful view.

One of numerous viewing hills with a very good view over the moor. There is even a telescope here, which can be used for a small fee.
