Natural Monument in the Beerfelden region
Regenmoor Red water from Olfen.
The Red Water near Olfen is one of the last real moors in the Odenwald and is listed as a nature reserve. The Red Water is a rain bog or raised bog that occurs when rainwater can not seep through the ground. As a result, dead grasses, herbs, mosses and willows can not be completely decomposed, which is why they gradually form layers of peat that slowly grow above the level of the groundwater level (hence the name bog). The marshy core area of ​​the Red Water must not be entered. However, there is a nice footpath along its edge along which you can explore the habitat Hochmoor.

Nature reserve Red Water, a watercourse in the middle of nature. Ticks and mosquitoes also feel at ease here.
