Bodenmöser Nature Reserve

The Bodenmöser nature reserve was established to protect one of the largest examples of pre-alpine bog complexes. Numerous animals feel at home in the large raised, intermediate and low moors, and the diverse flora makes for a wonderful landscape. And if the area is covered by a thick layer of snow, then you can easily enjoy the silence while you trudge through the snow.

As part of the Moore mit Stern project, which is made possible by a donation from Daimler AG, the Nature Conservation Association of Germany Baden-Württemberg wants to improve the condition of the Bodenmöser and Hinterzartener Moor in the Black Forest through renaturation. As part of the measures, drainage ditches have been blocked and non-native spruce trees have been felled since October 2015.

The main purpose of the nature reserve is to preserve the Bodenmöser as one of the largest examples of pre-alpine moor complexes with large-scale raised, intermediate and low moors and as part of a network with the pre-alpine moor landscapes. This includes in particular the protection of raised moor areas as well as litter, wet and wet meadows from intensification, drainage, marginal impairment and other uses that are detrimental to nature conservation. In addition to preserving the diversity of species and communities native to these moor habitats, suitable care and maintenance measures are intended to restore or improve the ecological value of habitats that have been impaired by human intervention or overuse in the past.The main purpose of the landscape conservation area is to preserve the grassland and forest belt that is naturally connected to the nature reserve as a buffer zone to avoid adverse effects on the nature reserve through disruptive changes to the environment that impair the natural balance or the landscape of the Isny Basin. It is a landscape of particular beauty and character, characterized by the alternation of large open grassland areas with forest and wooded streams, to safeguard the landscape and the recreational function.There are several moor and heath areas, the most important being Eisenhammermoos, Riedmüllermoos, Rotmoos and Hasenmoos. The rich flora and fauna of the Bodenmöser also includes rare species such as adders and marsh grasshoppers, and there are also bog trefoil and reed grass.Source: Wikipedia
