The Goldenstedter Moor is a high moor area and, together with other moor areas, belongs to the Great Moor near Barnstorf . The area in Goldenstedt in the Vechta district is part of the Diepholzer Moorniederung , which is one of the most valuable moorlands in the Federal Republic of Germany and is of international importance. Today it is a nature reserve that extends over an area of ​​approximately 640 hectares.

protection

The Goldenstedter Moor was declared a nature reserve in 1984 as part of the Lower Saxony moor protection program. For a transitional period, cultivated areas may continue to be managed in accordance with the contract, taking into account nature conservation issues. At the same time, already uncultivated areas have been rewetted. After the peat mining permits have expired, the Goldenstedter Moor is to be preserved or developed as a survival space for typical high moor communities.

The NIZ also includes a 15 m long “moor tunnel” that explains and depicts the moor, as well as a garden in which regionally important fruit varieties that are threatened with extinction grow. In Moor Tunnel few possessions of are Kiepenkerl January Spieker shown, died in 1828 Goldenstedter Moor and was buried, and its bog body was founded in 1978 dug up again.

A little train is named after Jan Spieker and commutes between the house in the moor and the Barnstorfer Umwelt-Erlebnis-Zentrum (BUEZ) in the warm season . At the Haus im Moor there is a train station, from which a moor railway takes tourists on a circular route through the Goldenstedter Moor.

The Bioskopion, a wooden observation tower, allows an overview of a large part of the Great Moor when visibility is good.
