As early as 1585, a Degenberg castle lord had this plateau cleared and settled.

Of the “12 properties with 80 people and 370 cattle” that were located here in 1832, half were still there in 1928.
The people on the remote Oberbreitenau always had to contend with harsh weather and barren soil. Only oats, potatoes and beets thrived here and the crops were often snowed in.

In the 1920s, the Bavarian state bought the abandoned properties, which had now fallen into disrepair.

The state forestry administration has now freed up the areas planted with spruce trees and filled the ditches so that the original condition and spaciousness of the open area can be restored. A gravel path makes it easier to visit Oberbreitenau, and in the adjacent magical forest you will be amazed by animal figures carved with a chainsaw.

Oberbreitenau is also interesting for botanists and geologists. The raised moor area created by springs is a botanical excursion area. At the top of the rare plants is the Charlemagne Scepter. The pale yellow foxglove, orchid and arnica are also strictly protected. Typical raised moor plants include blackberry and cranberry, cotton grass, fat grass and sundew.

Very nice nature reserve, but you have to push or park your bike there. Is not passable.
