Großes und Weißes Moor

The Großes und Weißes Moor extends across 654 hectares of land, featuring dense peat formations, numerous ponds, and pine forests in northern Lower Saxony.

The core area received protection status in 1953, followed by expansions in 1975 and 2009, growing from 440 to 654 hectares of preserved land.

The nature reserve includes educational pavilions and information boards along marked trails that explain the ecological importance of bog environments to visitors.

Four color-coded hiking trails of varying lengths guide visitors through the reserve, with the shortest route measuring 1.5 kilometers and the longest spanning 11.5 kilometers.

Within the reserve, visitors can experience different bog surfaces through a barefoot path and observe wildlife from a covered observation tower near the central ponds.
