Mardorf 4 - Moorpfad

The “Mardorf 4 – Moorpfad” trail (M4) forms part of the northern Moor Discovery Route within the nature reserve “Totes Moor”. This circular walk leads through one of the region’s most fascinating landscapes, where raised bogs, heathlands and lakeside meadows create an atmosphere of stillness and pristine beauty. Along the well-marked path, visitors can experience the unique ecology of the moor up close – from rare plants and migratory birds to the soft, spongy ground that tells the story of centuries of natural development. The walk takes around one and a half hours and offers gentle terrain, making it suitable for families and casual hikers alike. The path’s educational panels provide insights into peat formation and the importance of wetland conservation, adding depth to this scenic journey. A stop at the nearby Alte Moorhütte, a traditional rest point along the route, invites hikers to enjoy local refreshments and take a break surrounded by tranquil nature. With good public transport connections and clear route signage, the Moorpfad is an ideal destination for a relaxed excursion into the heart of Lower Saxony’s wild moorland charm.
