    After the rivers Kinzig and Murg broke through into the Rhine around 7,000 years ago, the former river bed became swampy and moor areas formed, including the Weingartener Moor. Some of the moor has a very high water table [. It was designated as a nature reserve on October 11, 1940, as the area was endangered by peat extraction. The surrounding quarry forest and part of the Grötzinger Baggersee followed on July 27, 1984

    Beautiful and interesting nature reserve. The Weingartener Moor nature reserve and wet biotope is one of the last semi-natural remaining areas of the Kinzig-Murg channel, a former river valley on the eastern edge of the Upper Rhine Graben. It is a fen with open water areas, surrounded by extensive swampy forest. Therefore, one finds an occurrence of a species-rich animal world here. The bird life of the protected area is particularly diverse. The bog is also an important spawning ground for 14 native amphibian species.
