The Zehlaubruch ( Russian Озёрское болото , Osjorskoje boloto ) is a raised bog in the Kaliningrad Oblast ( Russia ), formerly East Prussia .
location and size
Located south of Oserki (until 1946 Groß Lindenau ), the raised bog is surrounded to the west, north and east by the Frisching Forest (or Frisching Forest, Russian Озёрский лес , Osjorski les ). The area belonged to the Wehlau district until 1945 ; today it is part of the Prawdinsk Rajon (formerly Friedland ).
The moor is about 23 km² (2300 ha ) in size. More than 40 bodies of water make up about eight hectares. The moor rises from the plain to a height of 8.6 m above the ground and 38.6 m above sea level . It is drained mainly from the Prochladnaja (Frisching) to the Frischer Haff in a westerly direction, also to the north via the Baidukowka (Gilge) and Gwardeiskaja (Kuhfließ) brooks to the Pregel and to the southeast via the Saprudnaja (Schwöne) to Alle .
As the only still growing raised bog on what was then Germany's territory, the Zehlaubruch had been under nature protection since 1910. For decades after 1945 the moor was part of a military restricted area. Its current protection status is unclear. It is recorded as Osjorski sapowednik on maps from the 1980s . In an order issued by the Russian government in 1994 to set up nature reserves and national parks in the period up to 2005, the moor is listed as Sapowednik Prawdinski , but is no longer listed in a decree following in 2001 for the period up to 2010.
