The Galloway cattle is a domestic cattle suitable for year-round outdoor farming. The small to medium-sized robust breed comes from the eponymous district of Galloway in the southwest of Scotland. A key feature of the Galloway is its double-layered coat with long, wavy top coat and fine, dense undercoat. This, along with its comparatively thick skin and adapted, economical metabolism, make the Galloway particularly resilient. This is why they can survive even harsh winters outdoors without any problems. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galloway_(Rind)

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
