The nature reserve "Red Water" (also called "Olfener Moor") is a rare bog in the Odenwald, which is home to protected plants such as cotton grass, sundew and cranberry. It arises when low-limp water (rainwater) can not seep away. The moorland gradually bulges due to the decomposition of the peat moss.
