Pietzmoor
A raised peat bog beside Schneverdingen, crossed by wooden boardwalks through cotton grass and peat pools.
Pietzmoor is one of the largest raised bogs in the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve, covering about 250 hectares. Peat was once extensively harvested here, but the area has since been restored and rewetted. A loop boardwalk and trail of about 5 km crosses the bog, where you can see sphagnum moss, fluffy white cotton grass, sundews (carnivorous plants) and wild birds. The scenery is especially beautiful in the morning mist. The bog is an easy walk from the centre of Schneverdingen. Entry is free. Wear non-slip shoes, as the boardwalks can be slippery, and stay on the path.
