Peatland adventure trail in Pöllwitzer Forest

The hiking trail leads straight through the Pöllwitzer Forest, a former military training area, to the junction of the peatland adventure trail, constructed in 2013 and extended in 2015. This wooden boardwalk covers a total of 650 meters through the peatland. 20 information boards and adventure stations for children and adults as well as an observation tower make the peatland tangible and show its significance within the Pöllwitzer Forest nature reserve: What does it feel like to wade through the peatland? What is the story behind the peat bog bodies? Are there really carnivorous plants? Moosi Moosbeere is happy to explain everything here. Only those who solve all the tasks skillfully can free Moosi Moosbeere – the kidnapped peatland mascot – from the clutches of the treacherous peat king. The highlight is the 9 m high observation tower on the boardwalk, offering a fascinating view of the peatland landscape in every season.

For a relaxed exploration, allocate 2.5 to 3.5 hours. Seating is available at 4 locations.

Tip: In spring, when the cotton grass blooms, visitors are treated to a very charming scenery.
