The Wiesbüttmoor bog adjoins the lake immediately. This intermediate bog is the highest in the Spessart at 436 meters above sea level (NHN). The lake dams up the water from the Wiesbüttmoor bog by 3 meters. The bog and the lake are nature reserves and a refuge for many rare plant and animal species, such as Scheidenwollgras, Siebenstern, Sonnentau, or Sparrenbinsen and Kreuzotter. Source: Wikipedia
