Schwimmendes Moor, Nature reserve and bog near Jade, Germany.
The Schwimmendes Moor features a thick peat layer extending over 10 hectares where salt and freshwater environments directly meet, supporting varied plant species.
Before the construction of seawalls in the 12th century, storm surges could flood the bog, which originally covered 135 hectares in the 16th century.
The area represents a significant example of Northern Germany's wetland preservation efforts, contributing to ecological research and environmental education programs.
Visitors can explore the bog through a 150-meter wooden boardwalk that provides access while protecting the sensitive ecosystem from direct foot traffic.
During extreme storm surges exceeding 1.70 meters above normal tide levels, the 3-meter-thick peat formation actually floats on the water.
