Highlight • Structure

It's quite funny to see what you can do with a little imagination out of simple "cave toys".

October 27, 2024,Schlechtwetter Wanderung um das Pietzmoor

Despite bad weather, Debby and I went for a walk around the Pietzmoor. The boardwalk was quite slippery in places, but the autumn colours were all the more beautiful. It's worth going for a walk there at any time of year.

October 4, 2025,Schneverdingen - um das Pietzmoor

During the rain, we visited the One World Church in Schneverdingen, which houses the One Earth Altar with approximately 6,000 Earth books from around the world.
Afterward, it was fortunately dry again, and we had the wonderful opportunity to explore the Pietzmoor, surrounded by heathland, clouds, and the evening sun.

July 9, 2025,Lüneburger Heide - Pietzmoor

A very beautiful hike through the Pietzmoor. We parked at the Osterheide parking lot. There are plenty of better parking spaces at the Schäferhof restaurant.

Well, it only recently became a nature reserve. The moor itself is not particularly interesting.

The Pietzmoor is always worth a visit, but today we were there at full moon with the moor witch Mathilda. An experience and very adventurous. The moor witch told a lot about the moor and the people who depended on it. It was so cold that parts of the planks were very slippery, like on an ice rink, and of …

August 13, 2023,Im Pietzmoor bei Schneverdingen

In good weather, our last heath loop took us to Pietzmoor on the outskirts of Schneverdingen. We followed the route (see below) and only shortened it a bit. Parking is available right at the beginning of the hiking trail.
The proposed route through the moor - which partly led over boardwalks and through a swampy / moorland area - was …
