Emsland Moormuseum, Peatland museum in Geeste, Germany
The Emsland Moormuseum features two exhibition halls with 2,500 square meters of space and a 30-hectare outdoor area containing renaturalized peat bogs.
The museum evolved from a local history association's machinery display following the completion of the Emsland Plan development program in the 1970s.
The museum's scientific library maintains partnerships with German and Dutch institutions, supporting research about peat cutting methods and ecological studies.
Located between exits Geeste and Twist along the A31 highway, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from March to October, 10:00 to 18:00.
Visitors can observe the world's largest steam-powered tipping plow and take narrow-gauge railway rides through meadows and moorland areas.
