ホルステンの天然記念物・トップ20

The moor covers an area of approximately 379 hectares. Peat extraction and drainage have significantly altered the moor. However, it wasn't only the extraction of fuel peat that caused large areas of the moor to disappear, but also its conversion to arable land and grassland. Restoration measures have been carried out since 1980, including closing the drainage ditches within the moor.

From the "Wildes Moor" viewing hill, a sweeping view opens up over the almost treeless raised moor and green landscape, interspersed with renaturalized bodies of water. The atmosphere is particularly mystical in the morning with ground mist and the rising sun. A circular trail allows you to experience the unique flora and fauna: patches of cotton grass and sphagnum moss, bracken, and moor grass alternate, providing habitat for approximately 50 breeding bird species and various dragonflies and grasshoppers.

From the slightly elevated viewing platform, the Fockbek Moor and its inhabitants can be discovered.

The Fockbek Moor, northwest of Rendsburg, is the remnant of a former extensive heath and moor landscape. The now rewetted and regenerating moor has flora typical of raised moors: round-leaved sundew, rosemary heath, white beak sedge, cranberry, and cotton grass.

The view from the observation windows of the Fockbek Moor is significantly restricted in late summer due to vegetation. Be sure to take binoculars with you.
