The "Mittleres Bruch" observation point is located directly on one of the most beautiful sections of the "Landtour Bückeburg" (Bückeburg Country Tour), as well as other popular cycling routes. From here, you have an uninterrupted view of the fascinating flora and fauna of the wet meadows and floodplains of the Bückeburg lowlands. With a little patience and luck, you can observe various, even rare, bird species "at work." A detailed information panel on "Bird Species" provides even non-experts with the necessary specialist knowledge. Tip: Bring binoculars and/or a camera with a suitably large telephoto lens! It's worth it. This will make your bike ride or hike a truly special experience.🍀🌟

Originally, where the Mooshütte is today, there was a shelter made of sticks and moss, next to a small pond that was fed by the Hessian spring. As early as 1895, the innkeeper of the Königseiche in Bantorf, Fritz Hecht, had been running the restaurant at the spring with a horse and cart, and only when the weather was good. In 1924, Fritz Hecht had the building of today's Mooshütte built, but it only contained a bar and a kitchen and was only later converted to residential use. In 1940, an ice and storage cellar was built into the mountain behind the Mooshütte, which always had the same temperature in summer and winter. In 1951, the steel construction company Preussag began emergency mining facilities around the Mooshütte. In 1954, the hall was added to the left of the building. Five years later, the Mooshütte was taken over by the daughter of the innkeeper Friedolf Hecht and her family, the Watermann family, who continued to expand the Mooshütte. After mining ceased in 1960, the Watermann family had the washhouse converted into a guest house. In October 1998, the Mooshütte was purchased by the Flügge family from Schmarrie, who had been interested in the building for some time and were in negotiations with the previous owner. They immediately set about renovating the property. On May 1, 1999, the Mooshütte opened its doors as a restaurant for day trippers and hikers. Since then, the Mooshütte has once again enjoyed its traditionally lively popularity. In the 2000s, further extensive renovations took place. There were new extensions and further redesigns.
