Flora and fauna

The Kollrunger Moor presents itself in a very different state after the different peat excavation (industrial excavation in the Brockzetel area, hand peat cuttings in the Kollrunge area). Sometimes only thin residual peat layers exist, but in the area of ​​the rural hand peat cuttings there are also areas with greater peat thickness. Since measures to rewet the area have been initiated since around 1987, habitats typical of high bogs can again be found in the center of the area.

Threatened species such as the adder or the rare dragonfly species high moor mosaic maid are now again found in the habitats typical of high bogs .
