View over the meadow

Highlight • Viewpoint

This spacious clearing in the Raakmoor nature reserve offers you a clear view of the sky, space to let your eyes wander and see a few stars at night. Before you dive back into the dense forest of the moor.

Raakmoor Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are several viewpoints like this one scattered around the Raakmoor. From there you have a nice overview of parts of the moor if they are not overgrown.

View of the restored moorland at Raakmoor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Small but fine, this is the best way to describe the Raakmoor. In wet periods rubber boots are recommended because the trails are very natural and can be muddy.

Weir and stream in Raakmoor Nature Reserve

Highlight • River

The Raakmoor is the remainder of a raised bog that was created in the headwaters of one of the Alster tributaries after the last Ice Age. The nature reserve consists mostly of quarry forest, but has a regenerating moorland in the center. With 18 hectares, the Raakmoor is one of the smallest nature reserves in Hamburg.

Raakmoorgraben

Highlight • River

The Raakmoorgraben is a 6.9 kilometer long ditch in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel, Hamburg-Langenhorn and Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel and the left tributary of the Tarpenbek.

Together with its retention basin, it was expanded around 1934 during the Great Depression as a job creation measure by a voluntary labor service, which should facilitate the drainage of the moor. There is a memorial stone for the voluntary labor service south of the retention basin.

Large parts of the Raakmoorgraben existed before 1934, which can be seen on a map from the 19th century. The Hummelsbütteler Moorgraben, now a tributary, formed the beginning

Raakmoor Retention Pond

Highlight • Lake

In the north-west of Hamburg - in the Hummelsbüttler Feldmark - is the Raakmoor nature reserve, which with its 18 hectares is one of the smallest nature reserves in the Hanseatic city. The current transitional moor was originally a raised moor that was destroyed by peat removal and drainage so that the area could be used for agricultural purposes. Remains of bends and buried trenches still bear witness to this today. The monotypic flora disappeared except for a few remnants.
The Raakmoor is now going through the first phase of renaturation after being rewetted.
