The Buch Moorlinse is a natural body of water in the Berlin district of Buch in the Pankow district in the Panke valley . It was created in the 1990s by filling a depression with groundwater and stratum water.

According to old property maps from the 18th and 19th centuries, the area was originally a wet meadow . This had dried up due to the creation of the Berlin sewage fields at the end of the 19th century and because of the intensive agriculture in the area since the 1950s.

As a breeding area for almost all water bird species customary in the area, it became a popular observation site for ornithologists. Various amphibians have also settled here. As a habitat for endangered animal species, the moor lentil has a similar significance as the nearby nature reserve of the Karower Teiche , the Bogensee and the carp ponds in Buch. The endangered species of the great fire butterfly has found a refuge here.

With funds from the environmental relief program, an observation platform was built on the south bank of the Moorlinse and inaugurated on November 16, 2015. The Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU) put up an information board.

The zigzag ditch at its first bend, looking towards the moor lens

The zigzag ditch drains the bog lentil after snowmelt or heavy rainfall to such an extent that the road next to it is no longer flooded. In 2009 a bed sill was completed at the beginning of the ditch , so that on the other hand, the peat lentil can no longer be completely drained. The ditch itself as part of the former sewer field drainage runs from the moor lentil initially to the southwest and after its eponymous zigzag run it flows into the "Graben 1 Buch", which in turn flows into the Lietzengraben .
