Here drainage took place, peat was cut and agriculture was practiced. All this has greatly changed the face of the moor; it is no longer a natural moor at this location. Particularly exciting is to see the difference to the near-natural moor during a moor railway ride or a walk on another path. At the Moorpad, you can get interesting information on 13 information boards, an exciting moor legend and ideas for exploratory discovery. Additionally, for families, there is a Moorpad backpack with games, research supplies such as magnifying glass, measuring tape, identification aids and many other items to borrow at the MoorIZ information desk." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2869494/2e55b91f10f8580a80bc8338fcbe4d9a04b740dcce22416bf5ca2a346baa2f1c/auf-dem-moorpad.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Moorpad ======= - 2.29 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: easy - Great panorama - Walking / hiking Auf dem Moorpad - 0:35 h - 2.29 km - 1 m - 1 m - 2 m - - Start: Moor Information Center, Am Hohen Kopf 2, 21776 Wanna - Destination: Moor Information Center, Am Hohen Kopf 2, 21776 Wanna One hour or more: Pure moor experience and family fun The short Moorpad, just under three kilometers long, leads over the raised bog, a cultural landscape created by humans about 100 years ago.
