Kaltenhofer Moor

Kaltenhofer Moor is a protected wetland reserve in Felm and Osdorf with open peatland, forest patches, and a lake. The site spans multiple landscape types where visitors encounter shallow wetlands, scattered woods, and open water in a single place.

The land became state property in 1926 and was mined for peat between 1946 and 1948 using narrow-gauge railways. After this extraction period, the site was placed under protection and has developed into the nature reserve it is today.

The nature reserve forms part of the broader FFH conservation zone, integrating with the Stodthagener Forest to maintain regional ecological balance.

The eastern section is accessible through marked pathways that allow visitors to move through the reserve. Signs along the routes explain the ecological features of the landscape.

The reserve hosts specialized plant species such as rosemary heather, bell heather, and cranberries that thrive in acidic soil. These plants are adapted to the harsh conditions of the peatland and give the site botanical value.
