The Loisach-Kochelsee bogs are a 3600-hectare low-bog landscape consisting of bogs and raised bogs on the Loisach in Upper Bavaria, which is protected. The majority of the area is designated as both an FFH and a bird protection area. The Sindelbachfilz belonging to the area is a nature reserve. They are part of the Tölzer Moorachse.

The geomorphological structure of the moor landscape was shaped by the Isar-Loisach glacier at the end of the ice age and extends between Penzberg in the north and the Kochelsee in the south, as well as between Sindelsdorf / Schlehdorf in the west and Benediktbeuern in the east. For around 1000 years, the bog landscape has been used for agriculture by the Benediktbeuern and Schlehdorf monasteries, which has resulted in species-rich litter meadows.

The moor landscape is an extensive, yet coherent wetland that sometimes offers a habitat for many endangered organisms, such as the curlew, the common snipe, the kingfisher, the lapwing and the whinchat. In winter you can find hen harrier, reed harrier, shrike, teal and goldeneye and many other bird species in the moorland. A total of more than 200 species of birds have been identified, including many meadow breeders, which is why special attention is paid to the orientation of the protection.

The area support Isar-Loisach-Moore takes care of the development and protection of the bog, which is taken over by the nature conservation office of the Center for Environment and Culture Benediktbeuern.
