Here you will still find the rare landscape type raised bog:
It consists mainly of peat moss and other aquatic plants, which accumulate organic material without fully decomposing. This results in a thick, soft layer of peat, which can reach several meters. Raised bog is ecologically valuable, because it supports a unique biodiversity and fulfills important functions, such as carbon storage and water regulation. In addition, it plays a role in drainage and the preservation of clean water sources.
