Here, peat, which has therapeutic benefits due to its very low pH value, was extracted by the Spa Monopole farm for the needs of the spa treatments. Around 600 m³ of peat were transported annually on wagons to the trucks located lower down.

Two lorries for transporting peat can still be seen. Today, peat from the Venn is no longer used in Spa. For information on peat, see de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torf
