The Aschendorfer Obermoor / Wilde Moor is a nature reserve in the Lower Saxony city ​​of Papenburg and the communities of Surwold in the combined community of Nordhümmling and Neulehe in the combined community of Dörpen in the district of Emsland .

The nature reserve with the registration NSG WE 261 is 1,056  hectares in size. The FFH area "Krummes Meer, Aschendorfer Obermoor" forms a good two thirds of the area .

The nature reserve is located south of Papenburg. It places a raised bog area under protection, which is partially drained and peated . The moor is regenerated by rewetting . Residual moor areas have been preserved in the core area of ​​the protected area. The rewetting of the moor area was decided in 1997 as a compensatory measure for the construction of the Papenburg test site , which was built between 1995 and 1998 and is located a little northeast of today's nature reserve.

The former 90 hectare nature reserve "Krummes Meer" is part of the nature reserve "Aschendorfer Obermoor / Wildes Moor". The Krumme Meer is located in the north of the nature reserve in the area of ​​the city of Papenburg. It is characterized by a partly silted-up bog with the surrounding bog areas. Here are u. a. To find vibrating lawns and bog heath .

There are agricultural areas in the southeast of the nature reserve . The area bordering the moorland is to be developed into a hydrological buffer zone after the current lease agreements expire at the end of 2013 by temporarily damming the ditch between the moorland and the agricultural land.

A moor nature trail runs through part of the nature reserve , which is a circular route on former farm roads and dams. Information about the moor and the landscape is provided on display boards. Part of the moor nature trail is also a small viewing platform that allows a panoramic view.
