The former reserve lies between Twistringen and Schwaförden in a valley of a ground moraine landscape. It protects a drained and partially peated raised bog with peat thicknesses of up to seven meters. Fen areas were connected to the raised bog. In the former nature reserve, bog forests are growing with downy birch as the dominant tree species. Open areas are occupied by pipe grasses. Former peat cuttings have often been full of water. Vibrating lawns settle here . Partial areas are occupied by moor heaths . In the north of the former protected area, in the transition area to the low moor, alder forests grow thick with rich occurrences of dragon arens .
There is a watershed in the Geestmoor . The Klosterbach flows in a northerly direction , the Kleine Aue in a southerly direction.
