The Leipheim Moor is part of the Swabian Danube Moor. For millennia, peat grew in the wet soils here. Later, like so many moors in Central Europe, the area was drained. To protect the sensitive habitats, rewetting measures were implemented starting in the 1990s. Since then, the area has been undergoing a transformation. The meadows are becoming wetter, typical moorland habitats are returning, and with them, rare species such as the curlew, snipe, and white stork.
