The Moorweg im Aschener Moor, abbreviated Pr VI in technical language, is a prehistoric moor path originally 4.2 km long, which runs in the Aschener Moor west of Aschen in the Diepholz district of Lower Saxony. It was created in the pre-Roman Iron Age, probably around 46 BC. BC and is one of the longest boardwalks in northwest Germany.[1] The path construction has been preserved to this day due to the favorable conditions for preserving organic material in the moor. Large parts of the path have been destroyed due to mechanical peat mining up to the present day. In the center of the moor, an approximately 350 meter long remaining piece of untouched moorland remains permanently preserved. At its edge, a 950 m long barrier-free footbridge with a viewing platform, built between 2019 and 2021, runs along the course of the former moor path. It is intended to make the prehistoric moor path and the moor tangible for tourists.
