Discover the Teufelsmoor: Historical peat barge trips in Bremen!

In the picturesque Teufelsmoor near Bremen, visitors have the opportunity to experience history up close. T-online reported that historical peat barge trips are offered that transport the atmosphere of bygone times into the present day. These replicas of the original peat barges, which were used to transport peat until the 19th century, tell stories of a time when paved roads were still in short supply.

From April to October, the barges set off on their journey from the historic peat harbor in the Findorff district. The tour leads through the beautiful Bürgerpark and the idyllic Blockland until the Kuhsiel and Dammsiel sluices are reached. The tours last between two and four and a half hours and offer a perfect opportunity to leave the stressful everyday life behind you.

Diverse tours for all occasions

The tours are as varied as the landscape itself. Whether coffee trips, romantic moorland lights trips or after-work tours – everyone will find something suitable here. Whether with friends at a bachelor party or in quiet togetherness: the electrically operated boats offer space for up to 16 people and are also barrier-free, which makes it easier for people with limited mobility to participate.

For a little more enjoyment, a culinary break can also be planned. Food and drinks can be enjoyed in inviting restaurants along the route or pre-ordered directly from the boat. Prices for individual tickets start at 19 euros, while group offers start at 165 euros. There is also the option to combine the tours with the “Get to know Bremen” package, which is available from 158 euros per person.
