Prackendorfer und Kulzer Moos, Protected nature reserve in Dieterskirchen and Thanstein, Germany.

The nature reserve extends over 80 hectares of land, containing diverse ecosystems including high moors, transitional moors, and lowland moor areas.

From 1868 until 1965, workers extracted peat from a 66-hectare section, using ox carts to transport materials along what is now a nature trail.

The area maintains educational stations throughout a circular boardwalk, informing visitors about the ecological importance of moorland preservation.

The Nature Park Upper Palatinate Forest Association conducts guided tours from May to September, allowing visitors to learn about local flora and fauna.

The reserve contains specialized carnivorous plants like bladderworts, which capture small aquatic organisms in their underwater traps.
