Hiking

The Great Moor in Sassenburg is part of the north-west German raised bog district, which extends from the Netherlands to the eastern border of Lower Saxony on the geest areas shaped by the Ice Age. The moor originally covered an area of approx. 5,800 ha with almost 5,000 hectares of raised moor and a smaller proportion of fen. The peat layer reaches a thickness of almost 6 meters in places. Individual sub-areas have their own names, such as Stüder-Moor, Hestenmoor or Weißes Moor.

Landscape worth seeing, especially in autumn. The path is a relief for feet and knees
