Torfbahnhof Rottau Museum

The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"In the Bavarian Moor and Peat Museum, Bavaria's low and high moors are presented using maps, photos and plants. The exhibition is supplemented by collections on peat management, on the one hand pre-industrial mining and on the other hand peat cutting with vehicles and machines -mm narrow-gauge field railway. "

A spacious area with many outbuildings. Even when the museum is closed, you can see some of the peat railway here. Even if one of the buildings is in danger of collapsing. Absolutely worth seeing!Today the peat station and the remains of the field railway (gauge 880 mm), the so-called "Bockerlbahn", are an industrial monument that can be visited and is preserved by the Museum Association Torfbahnhof Rottau e.V. The Bavarian Moor and Peat Museum housed in it deals with the history of Bavarian moors and peat extraction, as well as the technology used there. The peat station is on the edge of the Kendlmühlfilzen, directly on the railway line between Munich and Salzburg. It is also worth mentioning that this peat factory houses the only complete peat baler in Europe that is still in its old location. The peat baling press was fitted with an electric drive again in spring 2013 and is now being demonstrated fully functional.

The peat station plans to reopen on May 1, 2021, as far as Corona allows. The best way to see the current status is at museum-torfbahnhof.de.
