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.

This varied circular route leads through the moor, on which you can learn a lot about the moor, its formation and inhabitants from various educational boards. But it is also an idyllic place to just relax and unwind.

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. …

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 …
