Pietzmoor Raised Bog

Highlight • Natural

The Pietzmoor is definitely one of the highlights of the Lüneburg Heath. You can explore the raised bog on a 5km circular walk from Bohlenstegen. There is plenty to discover all year round, the famous cottongrass blossom in spring, the diverse wildlife in summer, mystical fog over everything in the fall and in winter the moor enchants as a frosty ice landscape. It is feasible and impressive for hikers of any condition.

Pietzmoor Wetlands

Highlight • Natural

The Pietzmoor in the Lüneburg Heath was renaturalized in 1985/86. A 4.4 km circular trail offers excellent views of the moor and its water features. Half of the trail is on a wooden boardwalk.

Pietzmoor

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

From the Schneverdingen train station you can be on the great, small moor hiking trail in no time at all. Especially recommended in April/May, when the cotton grass bears fruit.

August 6, 2022,Heideschleife: Pietzmoor

On the way to the Baltic Sea I built in the Pietzmoor. Due to the early start this morning, I was in Hanover by 9 a.m. Then I left the autobahn due to an accident near Soltau and spontaneously decided to hike the Heideschleife Pietzmoor. Great decision, because the largest moor in the Lüneburg Heath with its kilometre-wide boardwalks is …

My third visit to Pietzmoor and always nice. I particularly like the long boardwalk.
If the path is too short for you, you can then tire yourself out on the heath next door.
There is a public toilet opposite the Hotel-Restaurant Schäferhof, which I have always found clean.

The cake in the Schäferhof is super delicious 😋.

Short beautiful round through a beautiful moor. Much committed and with beautiful information boards. We turned right so the dog could have some exercise. If we had taken the path before, we could have seen a pond. The detour is quite easy to walk and rather lonely. At the beginning or end there is the possibility of a recommended stop. …

May 15, 2022,Lüneburger Heide: 'Wollgrasblüte' im Pietzmoor

The Pietzmoor is always a nice destination. I had heard a lot about the cotton grass blossom, so today I used the wonderful weather to visit. And what can I say, these sights blew me away.

Nowadays you can already see a lot in pictures before you can enjoy it "in real life". But even if the extent of the …

I highly recommend it!
