Dosenmoor, Protected area in Neumünster, Germany.
Dosenmoor is a protected area near Neumuenster that covers over 500 hectares of regenerating raised bog. The terrain lies in flat countryside between two rivers and features open bog expanses with heathland plants and scattered trees.
The area was used for peat extraction starting in the 1800s until these activities ended in the 1970s. Afterward, protection status was granted to help the bog recover naturally.
The bog has become a place where visitors can learn about the specialized plants and animals that make their home here. Walking the paths takes you through habitats where you might spot dragonflies and rare bird species.
The area is accessible via a main path of about 2.5 kilometers starting from the parking area near a railway tunnel. The ground is boggy and wet, so sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are advisable.
Some plants here, like the sundew, have an unusual feeding method and capture insects with sticky leaves. When the seeds ripen, large areas display the white seed heads of cotton grass.
