Bog treading pool and dirty feet ahoy! There is also a sun lounger with a shelter and plenty of space to sit in the small moor roast.

he natural moor was mined in Bad Meinberg from 1818 to 1929 in the “Beinkerbruch” moorland and from 1929 to 2015 in the local “Stinkebrink” moorland and sold as a remedy from 1820 to 2015.
More than 50,000 cubic meters of bathing bog are stored in the “Stinkebrink” bog. As a management basis, the closed peat storage area has been divided into 16 peat fields (peat pockets). The viewer is presented with a special kind of biotope of rare flora and fauna. The Bad Meinberger Moor, a low moor, fed by mineral and nutrient-rich groundwater, is one of the few genuine mineral water marshes in Germany with an excellent quality.
The discovery of the moor as a third remedy (in addition to mineral water and carbon dioxide gas), which was sometimes called “the black gold of Bad Meinberg”, was a fortunate coincidence for Bad Meinberg; because it brought employment, many health-seeking spa guests, economic upswing and promoted the reputation of the spa. Bad Meinberg was one of the most famous mud baths in Germany. In the moor machine house there is a very old, but still functional Borsig mammoth pumping system. The system stands for the extraction, dismantling, processing and conveying of the natural, locally-bound remedy m2 for the delivery of mud baths and mud packs. The moor machine house is located in the “Stinkebrink” moor area.
The popular name "Stinkebrink" is due to the odor sensitivity of the prevailing hydrogen sulfide and to the actual district designation. On this area are or were, among other things, several mineral water springs and wells, 16 moor fields, a moor excavator, tracks, a diesel locomotive Field railway with tipping lorries, a bog mill (as a chopper for coarse ingredients), the Borsig mammoth pumping system, a bunker and pipes (bog pipeline).
Despite the numerous new construction measures carried out in recent years, the Borsig compressed air pumps remained unchanged. They worked without any problems during ongoing operations from 1929 to 2015. But they are still on duty today on certain occasions (e.g. guided tours).

First bog kick and then relax on the lounger.
