Tips from the Community
Even a four- or five-meter-high hill, built for visitors, offers a much better overview of the landscape left behind by decades of peat extraction.

According to a 1919 contract, peat extraction, which began around 1780, was to continue until the moor had completely disappeared. However, extraction was discontinued in 2018. The gradual renaturation and rewetting of the Himmelmoor had already begun. The "Himmelmoor Friends' Association" was founded in December 2005.

Along the trail, there are interactive stations and information panels where you can learn fascinating facts about the moor's flora and fauna, as well as its history. From several viewing hills, visitors can enjoy impressive views of the expansive moorland landscape.

In May there was still plenty of water in the pond, where many frogs were frolicking.

I was waiting for my dear wife and her horse in this area because she had chosen the bridle path at a certain point, and I had chosen the walking path. There's a lot of traffic there from cars coming and going.
