FFH Gebiet Blixmoor, Special Area of Conservation in Wees, Germany.
FFH Gebiet Blixmoor is a protected conservation area in Schleswig-Holstein covering about 29 hectares of wetland habitats. The site provides living space for plant and animal species that thrive in moist conditions.
The area received protection status in 2004 under the European Union Habitats Directive. This designation became part of a broader European effort to safeguard threatened natural habitats across the continent.
The area demonstrates to visitors how wetland ecosystems function and why protecting these spaces matters for the region. People who come here can observe how different species depend on each other in this specific habitat type.
The area is accessible via marked walking paths, though certain sections close during sensitive breeding seasons for birds and amphibians. Sturdy footwear is advisable since the ground tends to be wet and soft underfoot.
The wetland supports populations of Great Crested Newts and Sombre Goldenring dragonflies, two species that have become scarce across Germany. Both creatures depend on the specific conditions this moorland provides to survive and breed successfully.
