Bus station hiking trails around Großes Moor bei Becklingen lead through a distinctive Geesthochmoor (raised bog) landscape in the Lüneburg Heath. This area is characterized by extensive moor heaths, ancient peat cuttings, and diverse stages of peat moss and cotton grass growth. Peripheral areas feature moor and pine forests, while ongoing rewetting efforts have created wetlands and waterlogged sections crucial for the bog's regeneration. The Meiße River originates within this raised bog, contributing to the region's natural water systems.

Overall, a rather inconspicuous, small moor. Currently, work is underway here… perhaps rewetting? Would that be recommended…
