Stengelhaider Moor Observation Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

In 1990, peat mining was stopped here and the peat cuttings were renatured.
Success comes slowly.

Moor Stengelhaide

Highlight • Natural

Very close to the village of Kühnhaide there is a peat bog that has existed since the last Ice Age. A small educational trail leads you through the forest and you can find out about the plants, animals and special features of the moor on the boards. There is also a small wooden lookout point from which you can overlook the area. A trip to the moor in early to mid-June is particularly nice. At this time the cotton grass is in bloom and it looks as if a white, fluffy carpet has been laid over the moor. And if you're completely quiet, you might even hear the cuckoo calling.

Old stone bridge over the Schwarze Pockau

Highlight • Bridge

A very nice bridge in the moor area. You not only have a great perspective on the bridge, but also on the bridge a little further away.

Green Trench Entrance

Highlight • Structure

Leaving the path along the Black Pockau River towards Katzenstein, we re-enter the forest and are now accompanied by the Green Ditch.

An artificial ditch, constructed in the 17th century to aid mining.

We feel as if fairies and elves are dancing around us.

A stretch of rust-brown pine needles marks the path as we continue through this landscape.
