The "Moor Eye" is a stop on the nature trail. It focuses on the formation of the small lakes in the moor. Along the walkway, 23 information panels provide fascinating insights into the formation of the raised bog and its flora and fauna.

Impressive landscape - only your own fault if you do it on a sunny holiday when it is very busy

On the nature trail through the moor – a two-kilometer-long boardwalk – you can discover rare animal and plant species. The Black Moor is the best-preserved and still-growing raised bog in Germany's low mountain ranges. The moor is located in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve, in the border triangle of Bavaria, Hesse, and Thuringia – a unique cultural landscape in the heart of Germany. The area offers a wealth of exciting outdoor excursions. You can find more information here: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/biosphaerenreservat-rhoen.
