Information board on the history of peat cutting in Pietzmoor

The Pietzmoor is highly recommended for hiking. The Heidenschleife offers a good hiking route that includes all the moor's attractions.

The tour through the Pietzmoor is a must, so many beautiful impressions❤️

If you pass by on the circular route. Be careful, the path is made of wooden planks and could become slippery if it rains or is damp.

You shouldn't blame the ancients, they knew and often couldn't do anything else. Life on the heath was meager and farming was extremely laborious. As long as everyone on the sparsely populated heath had cut peat for heating for their own survival, it was still possible. The really bad thing only came with industrialization in the 19th century and the near end of the Pietzmoor only in the middle of the 20th century. Times when people definitely knew better but the profit was too tempting for some people. If you pay close attention, you can clearly see the traces of the past and the recent attempts at reparation.

Interesting information about the moor and peat

The Pietzmoor near Schneverdingen is one of the most recommendable hiking areas on the Lüneburg Heath. Here the heath shows its completely different side. Former peat cuts rewetted by the Naturschutzpark e.V. (VNP) association and its Lüneburg Heath Nature Conservation Park foundation with bright green peat moss, sinking birch stumps and shallow cotton grass stand in contrast to the heath areas on dry, barren soil. This fascinating high moor landscape is more than 8,000 years old. Source: https://www.lueneburger-heide-instrumente.de/wandern-pietzmoor-wandern-schneverdingen.php
