Teufelsmoor, Nature reserve in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Germany.

The Teufelsmoor spans 1,927 hectares of wetlands, peat bogs, and grasslands in Lower Saxony, providing habitats for numerous bird and bat species.

Industrial peat extraction in the area continued until 2012, when no further mining permits were issued for the Günnemoor section of the reserve.

The reserve includes informative panels throughout the walking paths that detail the historical methods of peat cultivation and moorland management.

The protected area connects to several other nature reserves, including Hammeniederung and Moor bei Niedersandhausen, offering extended hiking possibilities.

The rewetting of former peat extraction areas began in the 1990s, transforming the Günnemoor into a regenerated wetland ecosystem.
