Großes Moor (Vechta-Diepholz)

The Großes Moor ("Great Bog") is the proper name for a contiguous region of raised bog between the towns of Damme, Lohne and Vechta and the village of Goldenstedt in the county of Vechta on the one hand, and the villages of Diepholz and Barnstorf in Diepholz and Bramsche in Osnabrück in Lower Saxony on the other, all within Germany.

[2] One of the two smaller bogs named Großes Moor lies south of Damme; the other east of Vechta.

The entire region consists of partly near-natural areas, former agricultural peat cuttings and raise bog grassland.

The Großes Moor lies in the southern part of the North German Plain along the boundary between the counties of Vechta and Diepholz.

In front of this hill ridge and so near the Großes Moor a section of the Mittelland Canal runs from east to west by the boglands.
