The Museum Salz & Moor is a technology and natural history museum in Grassau in Upper Bavaria.

The salt museum shows the history of the Bad Reichenhall - Traunstein - Rosenheim brine pipeline , which is considered to be one of the first pipelines in the world. The focus is on the Klaushäusl pumping station , in which a water column machine developed by Georg Friedrich von Reichenbach worked as a brine lifting machine , which pumped the brine into a higher-lying reservoir using water power, from which it then flowed through pipes towards Rosenheim. The pumping station was in operation until 1958 and was opened as a museum in 1995 after thorough renovation of the company buildings and the most important parts of the technical equipment.

The moor museum is dedicated to the creation of one of the largest raised bogs in Bavaria , the Kendlmühlfilzen . It presents the local flora and fauna and explains the use of the bog by humans ( peat cutting ) up to 1988.
