Details
Zugang
There is no circular hiking trail, only a few paths into the moor. Since peat is mined in the entire core area, access is prohibited there. On the south side of the area is an educational trail (Moor Info Pfad, click on the P in the map to go there) and there is a viewpoint from a hill (see the map). The rest of the area can only be explored from the edges.

Until about 2015, the Esterweger Dose was the last breeding area of Goldregenpfeifer in Central Europe. Despite an ambitious rescue program, the bird could not be preserved for the area.
