Tips

At this point you look into a rewetted alder forest, the starting point of the "Butzener Bagen". The actual moor is surrounded by a swamp forest and is therefore not accessible. It lies further east from here and consists of a closed peat bog cover, the so-called "swinging grass".

With almost 30 hectares in size and numerous rare animal and plant species, the Butzener Bagen is one of the 100 most valuable moors in Brandenburg. It gets its water from the immediate vicinity and from the mountain lake on the other side. The mountain lake used to be a stream, and the wall you are standing on here was artificially built in the first half of the 20th century to dam up the lake.

The ditch that the bridge crosses drained the area for many years. During this time, residents were allowed to use parts of the Bagen as grassland. With drainage, however, the bog lost many of its important functions. It was not until 2006 that the Garben at the Bagen outflow was closed. Since then, the moor has recovered and can grow again. The trees that appear from time to time do not always withstand the increased water, but often die. As a result, they in turn provide habitat for many animal species that specialize in deadwood. In 2012, middle and lesser woodpeckers were found as breeding birds in the Bagen for the first time.
