Schnaakenmoor

The Schnaakenmoor conservation area contains wetlands and marshes at 16 meters elevation, providing habitats for numerous plant and animal species.

The German authorities established this protected natural area in April 1979 to preserve the moorland ecosystem from urban development and agricultural changes.

Educational programs within Schnaakenmoor teach visitors about wetland preservation and environmental protection through guided nature walks and informative sessions.

Walking paths and observation points throughout the 0.6 square kilometer reserve allow visitors to experience the natural environment while maintaining distance from sensitive areas.

The moorland's water regulation system maintains the local hydrology, filtering water and supporting the survival of specialized marsh plants in Hamburg's urban setting.
