Very nice new shelter at the Ramsee. The benches are so wide that you can comfortably take a nap ;-)

The bathing area is very muddy, but Pina still loved going into the water there. So she had to use the shower at home. So only for dogs who like bathing in mud and can go into the water on their own. :-)

If you hike through the Owschlager Moor on the Jungfernstieg, you will quickly see that this is predominantly a valuable heather moor that emerged from a largely drained raised moor. As part of the "Schleswiger Vorgeest", the moor lies on the southern edge of a large, intensively used sandy area. The entire moor is covered by silting up peat patches. Raised bogs are extreme habitats in which only a few animals and plants can exist. That's why most of the animal and plant species in the raised moor are on the "Red List" of endangered plants and animals. The reasons for the disappearance or decline of many raised moor specialists lie in the drainage measures (peat extraction, conversion into agricultural land), as a result of which the originally much larger Owschlager Moor has shrunk to the current remaining area of approx. 86 hectares. You can find further information about the Owschlager Moor here: http://www.owschlag.info/BUND/moor.htm

The visibility on this moor path is somewhat limited, but from the moor lake to the southeast you have a beautiful view over the water.
