Schwarzes Moor bei Resse, Nature reserve near Hannover, Germany
The Schwarzes Moor stretches across 140 hectares of land between Garbsen and Wedemark, containing pine-birch bog forests and open moor areas with heather and cotton grass.
The moor formed approximately 3,000 years ago in a glacial landscape during the Saale glaciation period, with peat extraction continuing until the 1950s.
The area represents a traditional north German moorland landscape where manual peat cutting shaped the current appearance of parallel drainage ditches and woodland strips.
The nature reserve connects to the Resser Stream in the east and the Auter River in the south through a network of drainage channels.
The central area contains a 1.2-meter layer of black peat covered by white peat, resting on birch carr peat foundations.
