Anklamer peat bog

The Anklamer Torfmoor , also known as Anklamer Stadtbruch or Städtisches Porfmoor , is an extensive moor area on the western bank of the Szczecin Lagoon . The majority of the area is taken up by the nature reserve Anklamer Stadtbruch .

A storm flood on November 4, 1995 led to the dike breach and subsequent permanent flooding of the Anklamer Stadtbruch and thus to the formation of the Anklam peat bog, which was discussed contradictingly by the residents concerned. Those responsible at the time made the decision not to repair the dams and not to pump out the water. Since then, forest use has only been possible to a limited extent. Trees die extensively.

There have been several attempts in the past to drain the bog to extract peat. Due to the old economic roads that lead into the area, almost all of it can be visited and explored. The moor is near the town of Anklam . The surrounding communities are Bargischow , Bugewitz and Leopoldshagen .
