Bornrieth Moor

The bog, which has had most of its peat extracted, was reflooded and placed under nature conservation protection in 1988.

Bog asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum), cottongrass (Eriophorum) and sundews (Drosera) may also be found here.

A boring mill was also built to manufacture water pipes from tree trunks.

As early as 1719 the first discussions were held about moving the boiling sites again because Bornrieth Moor had been exhausted.

In 1723 the new pipeline to the Scheuer Bruch was ready and in 1725 brine was boiled in the newly established village of Altensalzkoth.
