Großes Moor bei Becklingen, Nature reserve in Lüneburg Heath, Germany

The Großes Moor encompasses 850 hectares of protected wetlands divided between Celle district and Soltau-Fallingbostel district in Lower Saxony.

The establishment of the nature reserve in 1985 followed decades of agricultural drainage that had modified the original raised bog landscape since the 1950s.

The Heinrich Eggers Tower provides observation points for visitors to view the expansive moorland and observe the local black grouse population.

Multiple cycling paths and hiking trails cross the reserve, with a newly constructed refuge offering shelter and navigation maps for outdoor activities.

The River Meiße originates within this raised bog, contributing to the water system that maintains the largest black grouse community in the North German Plain.
