The Red Puddle is a small stream and pond nestled in a moorland landscape surrounded by spruce and pine forests. The area was formerly a center of peat extraction, which ceased in 1972. Traces of the old peat railway, which connected the moor to the spa center, are still visible today.

Today, the moor is a protected refuge for numerous plant and animal species. The area can be easily explored on well-marked trails. Interpretive panels provide information about the unique flora and fauna, as well as the historical use of the moor.
