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