Very quiet here. The surface is perhaps not very suitable for road bikes.

The reclamation of the Himmelmoor began around 1780. Its edges were divided into 1,000 to 5,000 square meter plots and transferred to farmers from neighboring villages for peat extraction. Industrial peat extraction began in the 1870s. Peat was now also extracted from the center of the moor using machines. Peat excavators extracted the black peat, compressed it, and divided it into sods. Turning the drying sods was increasingly done by machine, as was the collection of the dry peat. The low-energy fuel was packaged and loaded at the peat works.

From April to October, the exhibition is open every first and third Sunday and on public holidays in the old peat works at Himmelmoorchaussee 61 in Quickborn. It features pictures and old maps, presenting, among other things, the historical peat extraction process, the tools and machinery used, the climate impact of moors, and the diverse flora and fauna of the Himmelmoor Nature Reserve. Depending on the weather, short, spontaneous tours can be arranged. Admission is free, and donations for volunteer work are always welcome. https://www.hamburg-tourism.de/sehen-erleben/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungskalender/open-torfwerk-am-himmelmoor/
