Popis

The Neuendorfer Moor, a nature reserve nestled within the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve, preserves a valuable moorland ecosystem. This area is notably the origin of the Schilde River, marking the beginning of its course. The moor plays a crucial role in regional water regulation and provides a habitat for specialized flora and fauna adapted to wetland conditions. Significant renaturation projects, completed in 2008, have actively contributed to restoring the moor's natural functions and strengthening its ecological importance. This protected site is essential for maintaining this unique wetland landscape, significant for its biodiversity and its function as a carbon sink.
