Pestruper Moor

Nature Reserve

Germany - Lower Saxony

Area: 37.02ha

Directly adjacent to the Pestrup burial ground is the Pestrup Moor nature reserve. Just a few steps are taking you from the dry sandy soil of the Geest to the old primeval valley of the Hunte. A rustic trail leads along the edge of the Geest, which slopes down a few meters, along the former moor. Due to the extensive rewetting, the area is particularly important for moor- and moisture-loving animal and plant species.
