Peat is still actively mined here, and the "harvested" areas are then renaturalized and re-watered.

Here you can admire a small part of the renaturation area of the Great Moor. There is no longer any deep mining. The peat is gradually being removed for the pits, but this has nothing to do with peat mining, as some people wrongly describe it.
