The Tarbeker Moor is the remnant of a larger moor complex that formed in a meltwater channel after the last ice age. The surrounding moors were drained and almost completely converted into grassland in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Tarbeker Moor was partially industrially drained down to the mineral subsoil from 1951 to 1990. The peat extraction led to the complete destruction of the high moor vegetation.

In 1991, the renaturation of the Tarbeker Moor (a raised bog still capable of renaturation) began. Through the impoundment of the water from the Tensfelder Au, as well as inflow from springs from the subsoil and from the slopes, a large-scale vegetation of transition and quaking bogs has developed on the former extraction areas. In the western shallow lakes, peat moss-rich quaking mats of Calla palustris (bog-calla) and open water areas with Utricularia vulgaris (common bladderwort) dominate. In the eastern excavation areas, extensive stands of Carex paniculata (great-panicled sedge), Carex pseudocyperus (pseudocyphel sedge), and Juncus effusus (soft-rush) interspersed with grey willows have formed. In places, rare peat mosses occur

As part of the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park, the Tarbek Moor with its special charm is a popular excursion destination that gives you a variety of impressions. With its diverse composition of ponds and vegetation-free peat banks, it offers undisturbed insights into a mysterious-looking habitat. A moor birch forest borders dark ponds surrounded by snakeroot, dead birch trees in water-filled peat pits rise picturesquely into the sky and fields of waving cotton grass are reminiscent of images from Nordic legends. In the 131-hectare area, which was previously used as a peat extraction area, remnants of this use can still be seen today and carefree cycling and hiking from the Tarbek Moor to the Ihlsee in Bad Segeberg is possible both along former routes that have been preserved to this day and along the railway embankment that connected Bad Segeberg, Bornhöved and Kiel until 1960. https://www.blunkerbach-sh.de/tarbeker-moor
