Kendlmühlfilzen Raised Bog
Highlight • Natural
It developed from the siltation zone of the formerly much larger Chiemsee and is the largest contiguous raised bog in Bavaria. The peat layer had reached a thickness of seven to eight meters. In past centuries, this peat was primarily used by farmers to obtain litter and heating material. From the middle of the 19th century, peat was also extracted industrially. A peat station was built in 1920 on the Rosenheim – Salzburg line in Rottau. The prisoners of the Bernau prison were used as peat workers. In the 1970s and 80s, large areas of milled peat were then extracted for the production of potting soil. The destruction of the moor was fought by residents and environmental associations with the citizens' initiative Rettet die Kendlmühlfilzen. After decades of conflict, the mining of milled peat ceased in 1988 and in 1992 it was designated a nature reserve. The areas were renatured as far as possible.
