Dalum-Wietmarscher Moor, Nature reserve in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The Dalum-Wietmarscher Moor extends over 1,580 hectares between Dalum, Wietmarschen, and Twist within the International Nature Park Bourtanger Moor-Bargerveen.
Industrial peat extraction operations in the area continued until 2016, after which systematic restoration efforts began to return the land to its natural state.
The protected area serves as a sanctuary for meadow and shore birds, including species like lapwings, redshanks, and golden plovers in their natural habitat.
An observation hill provides views across the moorland, with an additional viewing platform planned near Füchtenfeld for nature observation activities.
The reserve contains extensive cotton grass moor stages and reed grass formations, complemented by birch trees and heather zones in its eastern section.
