11th stage of the popular Hünenweg long-distance hiking trail
This section of the Hünenweg focuses on the moor and its eventful history. The Bourtanger Moor was once the largest contiguous raised bog area in Central Europe. The vastness of this former wilderness can only be guessed at today, as a large part of this unique habitat has already been destroyed. As part of the largest economic stimulus programme in German post-war history, large parts of the former moor were put to industrial use.
