Georgenfelder Hochmoor, Nature reserve in Altenberg, Germany
The Georgenfelder Hochmoor extends across 11 hectares at 875 meters above sea level, featuring wooden walkways through peat formations and water-filled depressions.
The raised bog formation began during the Elster glaciation period when melting inland ice created small lakes that accumulated peat over thousands of years.
The State Association for Saxon Conservation initiated protection efforts in the early 20th century, leading to the establishment of this nature reserve in 1961.
Visitors can access the reserve from Easter to October between 9:00 and 17:00, with guided tours available through the Nature Conservation Station.
The bog contains approximately 5 meters of peat layers and hosts specialized plant species including cranberry, bog bilberry, and various moss species.
