museum
In the Bavarian Moor and Peat Museum, the low and high moors of Bavaria are presented using maps, photos and plants. The exhibition is supplemented by collections on peat management, on the one hand pre-industrial mining and on the other hand peat cutting with vehicles and machines. The latter range extends the 880 mm narrow gauge - light railway .
Special exhibits are a replica of the bog corpse Rosalinde from the 14th or 15th century from Hohenpeißenberg and parts of a Celtic boardwalk from around 600 BC. Chr.

The museum building is the former carpentry of the Bernau correctional facility .
The museum also includes the so-called peat station , in which the only completely preserved peat baler is exhibited. This was built in 1920 by Bayerische Landestorfwerke GmbH as a peat processing and loading station, used until 1989 and is now a listed building .
