The moorland south of Rosenheim comes directly from the last Ice Age and is now a national and European NSG.For the cyclist, the circumnavigation with a stop at the moor station is particularly suitable, there you can also get there by bike.Read on Wikipedia: "Today's Rosenheim trunk basin bogs denote an area between Rosenheim in the north and the edge of the Alps in the south.This area with its numerous raised bogs was created by silting up the former Rosenheimer See, which had formed after the retreat of the Inn glacier and which was filled with melt water in the post-ice age. A swamp landscape formed from the clay-rich seabed that remained.In the 19th century man began to drain the area and use it economically by extracting peat. Only a small remnant of the original marshland remains in the Sterntaler Filzen. Use in the peripheral areas has also intensified and has displaced traditional orchards.Despite these changes, the area is of high ecological value and is therefore now protected several times, with the protected areas partially overlapping. These include Fauna-Flora-Habitat, LIFE + and Bayern-Netz-Natur.
