The bog formed after the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Its peat layer is up to four meters thick and is now growing by one millimeter a year.

The Schweinsberger Moor is one of the last primeval landscapes in Central Europe. It has been standing since 1977
under conservation. Today, the moor is mostly overgrown with reeds and, at 43 hectares, is the largest contiguous reed area in central and northern Hesse.

The Schweinsberger Moor is one of the last primeval landscapes in Central Europe. It has been under nature protection since 1977. It is the largest contiguous reed area in central and northern Hesse.
When the breeding season starts again, there will definitely be a lot of birds to observe here.
