Wildes Moor

Wildes Moor is a protected landscape spanning roughly 207 hectares of wetland, grassland, and low shrubland in northern Germany. The terrain displays typical features of northern moorland with open water surfaces, spongy ground, and varied vegetation zones.

The area received protection status in 1953 to preserve its moorland ecosystems and biodiversity. This decision reflected growing recognition of wetland value in post-war conservation efforts.

Scientists conduct regular research projects at Wildes Moor to study wetland ecosystems and document the effects of environmental changes on local habitats.

Visitors can walk along marked trails that wind through the protected area and reach different viewpoints. Signboards placed along the paths provide information about local wildlife and plant life for self-guided exploration.

The moor contains specialized plant communities adapted to consistently wet conditions and attracts rare wetland wildlife. These adaptations make it a place where you can observe natural processes of moorland formation over time.
