...setting sun in the Teufelsmoor...





The name "Teufelsmoor" does not mean "devil's bog" or "devil's moor" as a literal translation would suggest. It is actually derived from doofes Moor, where doofes means "unfertile", "less fertile " or "dead" and moor means "bog" or "moor". Large parts of the Teufelsmoor area consist of raised bog (Hochmoor) peat which is formed from sphagnum moss. Hence the reason why it is not very fertile.

It has a silent, a timeless, stunning beauty...
