Transitional bog located near the district road WUN1, peat was mined here for fuel production until the 1950s, after which it was placed under protection and left to its own devices. It has been maintained by the Fichtelgebirge Association for some time. Rare marsh plants have settled since then.

A post-Ice Age peat store served as fuel for peat extraction up until the 1950s, primarily for the village of Hohenbuch. After this intervention, the area, consisting of a moor area and wet areas, was left to its own devices, pits filled with water and ponds of different sizes were created. The succession led to the development of a partly rare and multi-faceted vegetation. Represented is e.g. B. the knotweed pondweed and the arnica. The protected area owned by the Fichtelgebirge Association has been designated as an extensive natural monument since 1983.
