Nice extension of the round, which we took with us, because otherwise it was a bit too short for us. And suddenly we were alone ...

This varied circular route leads through the moor, on which you can learn a lot about the moor, its formation and inhabitants from various educational boards. But it is also an idyllic place to just relax and unwind.

August 6, 2022,Heideschleife: Pietzmoor

On the way to the Baltic Sea I built in the Pietzmoor. Due to the early start this morning, I was in Hanover by 9 a.m. Then I left the autobahn due to an accident near Soltau and spontaneously decided to hike the Heideschleife Pietzmoor. Great decision, because the largest moor in the Lüneburg Heath with its kilometre-wide boardwalks is …

I have one more... from May 18th, 2024:

Who doesn't know the Pietzmoor with its seemingly never-ending boardwalks? An enchanting moor that is worth exploring. However, the day should be chosen carefully.

Short beautiful round through a beautiful moor. Much committed and with beautiful information boards. We turned right so the dog could have some exercise. If we had taken the path before, we could have seen a pond. The detour is quite easy to walk and rather lonely. At the beginning or end there is the possibility of a recommended stop. …
