Hasenmoor, Protected bog area in Segeberg, Germany
Hasenmoor is a protected wetland area in Segeberg covering around 1,800 hectares of waterlogged terrain. The site supports diverse plant communities that have adapted to the saturated soil conditions.
The area was first documented between 1264 and 1289 under the name Wolvesberg, marking early human presence in the region. Later, peat extraction activities took place on the site before it became protected land.
The municipality maintains a village community center constructed in 2007, which serves as a central location for local gatherings, fitness activities, and political meetings.
The site is accessible to visitors who can explore the moorland on marked trails throughout the area. Visit during warmer months when paths are drier and easier to walk on.
Parts of the area were developed from abandoned peat extraction sites that were later protected under Natura 2000. These former mining areas now host regenerating ecosystems with newly created habitat.
