Brenner Moor, Nature reserve in Bad Oldesloe, Germany.

The area was placed under protection in 1978, marking a shift in how the region approached conservation. This protection status helped keep the moorland from being converted or built upon.

The reserve is easy to access with several marked trails of different lengths to suit various fitness levels. It is best to wear sturdy footwear and stay on the paths, especially during wetter months.
The moorland is home to specialized mosses and plants adapted to wet conditions, which provide habitat for rare insects and birds found nowhere else in the area. These species depend entirely on the specific water levels and soil types here.
