Green Classroom at Moorstation Nicklheim

Highlight • Rest Area

The green classroom at the Nicklheim moor station offers a suitable setting for environmental education campaigns, even in inhospitable weather conditions.

From the neighboring viewing platform you have a unique panoramic view of the moor landscape with the wide expanses of water and a diverse bird life. A demonstration and manual peat cutting and the hut of the peat workers bring past times to life and the Bockerlbahn operated by the "Fuizl-Verein" provides an unusual driving experience.

There is also the option of moor excursions of different lengths with competitions, games and exploring a botanical teaching site.

Sterntaler Filze Moor Experience

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Sterntaler Filze is one of the Rosenheim trunk basin bogs and was created when the Rosenheimer See silted up after the Inn glacier retreated. In 2021 this area was added to the ranks of "Wetlands of International Importance". Unique flora and fauna grow in the moor landscape and the moor also serves as a habitat for many bird species. For example, black, brown, blue and robins live in the area, which is why it is also called "Vierkehlchenland".

Nicklheim Moor Station

Highlight • Natural

In the 19th century, peat was used as fuel for heating homes. Farmers and settlers went to the "Fuizn" (peat cutting) to cut peat; peat was considered the poor man's coal. With the advent of industrialization, peat was mined on a large scale from 1876 onwards. The peat was removed with machines and the moor was drained. This created jobs and led to the establishment of a settlement in the emerging Nicklheim. Many seasonal workers toiled in the summer on piecework contracts, while some settled permanently on the brown, peat-drained land, and a new town emerged: today's Nicklheim (municipality of Raubling).

With the emergence of other, more profitable fuels, peat in Nicklheim was mined primarily for potting soil from the mid-1950s onwards. However, in line with growing environmental awareness, the peat works in Raubling closed in 2006. It was declared a landscape conservation area in 1989 and has been continuously watered and renaturalized since then. The Filzen are unique in Europe due to their size, as there is no larger moorland restoration project in Europe than here, just outside Rosenheim. The remaining tracks of the former peat works are still used today for Bockerlbahn rides.

Peat Railway in Nicklheimer Moor

Highlight • Structure

Apparently, it takes a bit of luck to see the railway in operation.
But what is ubiquitous are the tracks of the railway, which give an idea of the operation.
