Gasthof Zur Kreuzkuhle
Our inn is always worth a visit! Many old photos bear witness to the days when peat ships would moor in front of the inn and pay tolls to continue their journey—and, of course, to the history of our inn, which feels as though it’s been here forever. This is the peat boat harbor on the Oste-Hamme Canal, right in the Kollbecksmoor, a spur of the Teufelsmoor.
In addition to events held throughout the year, we offer many other excursion packages for groups in collaboration with the Findorffs Erben association. The following activities can be combined with one another and/or with refreshments (e.g., coffee and cake, dinner). For more information, visit www.findorffserben.de

Covered wagon ride with a tractor through the Kollbecksmoor
Do you prefer solid ground beneath your feet? Then how about a ride in a cozy covered wagon? The vintage tractor and open-top carriage will take you right through the heart of the Kollbecksmoor, and along the way you’ll learn a lot about the region and its people. In October and November, for example, crane-watching tours are organized in collaboration with NABU.Earning a Moor Pass
This challenge isn’t about learning—it’s about fun group activities, such as moving peat, rolling peat rings, peat-throwing, target shooting with a slingshot, milking contests, peat-sawing, singing from a hunting blind, and much more. Afterward, participants can look forward to a proper “moor baptism” with a naming ceremony and the presentation of a personalized Moorpass.Good to know
