Kaltenhofer Moor, Protected wetland area in Felm and Osdorf, Germany.

The 54-hectare Kaltenhofer Moor contains remnants of a raised bog with sections of forest, open peatland, and a small lake in its eastern section.

The area transformed from private ownership to state property in 1926, followed by systematic peat extraction operations using narrow-gauge railways between 1946 and 1948.

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

Visitors can explore the eastern section through designated pathways equipped with information panels that detail the reserve's ecological characteristics.

The reserve contains specialized plant species including rosemary heather, bell heather, cranberries, and multiple varieties of cotton grass thriving in acidic conditions.
