Accessibility

General Information on Accessibility
Guests with limited mobility can experience the nature reserve on the moor railway. This runs from April to December on Sundays and public holidays (for exact departure times, see www.moorbahn.de).

Wheelchair users should register in advance so that the wagon of the small railway can be adapted accordingly.

The journey from the station and back takes approx. 90 minutes. The destination and highlight of the tour is the wheelchair-accessible and covered viewing platform in the middle of the raised bog, which can be reached via a ramp and a wooden footbridge. There is also a wheelchair-accessible toilet at the station of the small peat railway.

Directions & Parking facilities

Tiste is located to the east of Sittensen. The nature reserve car park is located at the end of the village, on the L 142 in the direction of Tostedt, directly in front of the Burgsittensen moor railway station building.

By car:
The best way to reach Sittensen from Bremen and Hamburg is via the A1 motorway (exit Sittensen). From there, simply follow the signs for "Sittensen".
From Bremervörde you can reach Sittensen via Zeven. Coming from Rotenburg (Wümme), drive via Scheeßel, Helvesiek and Hamersen.

By public transport:
There are numerous bus connections from Bremen, Tostedt railway station, Bremervörde and Zeven to Sittensen.
If you are travelling from Bremen or Hamburg, you can take the train to Tostedt, for example, and get on bus 3860 at the station in the direction of Zeven (journey time approx. 15 minutes). From the bus stop "Tiste, Abzweig Burgsittensen" it is 500 m to the car park of the nature reserve.

The buses on route 3860 normally also have a fold-out ramp for people with reduced mobility.

Further information can be found here at www.vnn.de or www.vbn.de.

By bike:
The 150 km Hamburg-Bremen long-distance cycle route, which links the two Hanseatic cities, passes right by the nature reserve.
