Very interesting and many signs explain how the peat was mined in the past.

The moor pits of Bad Schwalbach are a fascinating relic from the time when the town achieved national fame as a moor and mineral spa. They are idyllically situated in the Gerstruth Valley, part of the extensive spa park, and tell of a very special healing tradition.

Here the peat extraction for the health resort of Bad Schwalbach is described. The Moorbahn, a narrow-gauge railway operated by Bad Schwalbacher Kurbahn-Verein, transports people from March to October. In season there are Sundays from Kurbahn club coffee and home-baked cake.
