Description
The Pietzmoor is a big moor on the southern edge of Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve and covers an area of about 2.5 km. The area has cotton grass, large bodies of water and dead trees that tower into the air. You can explore the area on long raised wooden walkways. There are floating grass islands of various sizes, Sphagnum moss on the banks and in the water. Thanks to a successful restoration, Pietzmoor is now able to re-grow. The area is a refuge for waterfowl. There are lush green meadows all around, bordered by trees and bushes that offer variety and habitat for numerous birds and insects.
