Red Moor (Rhön)
The Red Moor ((ドイツ語:Rotes Moor)) is a raised bog in the Hessian part of the Rhön Mountains in Germany. It lies within the eponymous nature reserve in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve and is part of the Europe-wide conservation system, Natura 2000.〔(Natura 2000 Hesse )〕 The Red Moor has an area of 50 hectares and is the second largest raised bog in the High Rhön after the Black Moor (66.4 hectares). For 175 years, until 1984, peat was cut here. The interior of the raised bog is severely damaged, especially as a result of the many years of peat cutting. Its perimeters are however still largely undisturbed areas that are better and more typically developed than the Black Moor, 8 kilometres away. In 1979 large-scale renaturalisation measures began.
== Geography ==
The Red Moor is the largest raised bog in Hesse, followed by the moor in the Breungeshain Heath (4 ha) on the uplands of the Vogelsberg.〔Stiftung Hessischer Naturschutz (publ.): ''Naturschutzgebiet Rotes Moor im Biosphärenreservat Rhön.'' p. 6.〕 In the Rhön it is the second largest bog after the Black Moor; others being the Great Moor (''Großes Moor'', 8 ha) and Little Moor (''Kleines Moor'', 2 ha) on the Stirnberg, and the ''Moorlein'' on the Rasenberg.〔Willy Kiefer: ''Die Moore der Rhön.'' p. 8.〕 As a result of centuries of peat extraction, which lasted until the 1980s, only an area of about five hectares is left as a core zone. The Red Moor is divided into two areas: The Great Red Moor (''Großes Rotes Moor'', formerly 32 hectares of raised bog – today just under 11 ha) and the Little Red Moor (''Kleines Rotes Moor'', formerly 7 hectares of raised bog – today 1.7 ha).〔Stiftung Hessischer Naturschutz (Hrsg.): ''Naturschutzgebiet Rotes Moor im Biosphärenreservat Rhön.'' p. 21.〕 It lies about five kilometres southeast of the Wasserkuppe on the B 278 federal highway between the village of Ehrenberg (part of Wüstensachsen) on the Hessian side and the town of Bischofsheim an der Rhön on the Bavarian side of the state border.
The bog measures about a kilometre from north to south and 600 metres from west to east. Its lowest point at the southern end of the moor is about 804 metres above sea level and it climbs towards the north to about 830 metres ASL. The moor is bounded by the surrounding mountains which, running clockwise, are the Mathesberg (831.8 m) to the north, the Ottilienstein (846.4 m) to the northeast, the Heidelstein (925.7 m) to the east, the Kesselstein (799.2 m) to the south, the Mostberg (807.4 m) to the west and the Feldberg (815.2 m) to the northwest.〔Hessian State Survey Office (publ.): ''Topographical map 1:25,000 series – 5525 Gersfeld (Rhön).''〕
The Red Moor lies in the southern part of the Red Moor Nature Reserve which covers an area of 314.7 hectares. This reserve, designated in 1979, the name of which is taken from the raised bog, lies mostly above the 800 metre contour, but elevations range from 720 to 835 metres above ''Normalnull''. It is one of the oldest and largest nature reserves in Hesse and lies between the Wasserkuppe and the Heidelstein on the gently rolling saddle of the High Rhön. It measures 3.5 kilometres from north to south and 0.6 to 1.2 kilometres from east to west. There are other smaller wetlands with thinner layers of peat in the nature reserve formed around three hollows, each the source of a stream. The stream draining the lowest point of the moor is the ''Moorwasser'' ("bog water"). It flows south into the Schwarzbach, which discharges into the Brend at Bischofsheim its waters making their way via the Franconian Saale to the drainage basin of the Rhine. Within the moor itself, the ''Moorwasser'' separates the Little Red Moor to the southeast from the Great Red Moor to the northwest. Above the tailstream of the artificial embankment built in 1973 is a small reservoir. Another source stream, the ''Feldbach'', flows westwards into the Fulda. A third stream, the ''Grumbach'', flows northwards into the Ulster, a tributary of the Werra. The Werra and Fulda later converged to form the Weser. The reserve thus lies on the watershed between the Rhine and the Weser.〔Stiftung Hessischer Naturschutz (publ.): ''Naturschutzgebiet Rotes Moor im Biosphärenreservat Rhön.'' p. 5.〕
