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." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3767339/c6c72f89a6e0f283b839b730232606e7456b6c86bea89b3038221479e378ffd6/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Peatland adventure trail in Pöllwitzer Forest ============================================= - 5.34 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: easy - Themed hiking trail - 1:19 h - 5.34 km - 34 m - 34 m - 410 m - 444 m - 34 m - - Start: Neuärgerniß hiking car park - Destination: Peatland adventure trail Family-friendly nature experience route in the Thuringian Vogtland with 20 adventure stations.
