Cycling tour to the Ribnitz moor

with Holger Tessendorf

Next date: 04/05/2025, 03:00 pm in Graal-Müritz

Fahradtour

Set off by bike to the Ribnitz Great Moor and discover the bogbean, the pink blossoms of the rosemary heather and the white wadded fruit stalks of the cotton grass. The air slowly fills with the humming and buzzing, chirping and fluttering of insects. Let yourself be surprised and explore the different habitats of this unique, man-made landscape.

The approximately 6000-year-old wetland biotope "Ribnitzer Großes Moor", which was still used commercially for peat extraction a few decades ago, is of great importance for endangered plants and animals. At 274 hectares, it is one of the largest rain moors in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Following renaturation in the 1990s and in times of increasing global warming, this raised bog is also becoming more and more important for climate protection. When they are intact, moors not only store a considerable amount of rainwater, but also the dangerous greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. It is therefore important to preserve this cultural landscape.

The hiking guide Holger Tessendorf has managed the "Forest and Moor" training and information center in Neuheide for many years and has set the tone there. Over the past 12 years, he has inspired many young and old recreation seekers and nature enthusiasts with his expertise, a dash of humor and a lot of passion. He focuses in particular on the important ecological functions of moors.
