    Tips

    September 30, 2024

    The Wurzacher Ried is a unique, primeval landscape with a special magic. The enormous power of the Rhine glacier continuously formed the hill ranges of the Allgäu during the last three ice ages and carved out a deep tongue basin. Today, the Wurzacher Ried is the largest contiguous and still intact raised bog in Central Europe and one of the largest nature reserves in Baden-Württemberg. Why raised bog? The raised bog does not get its name because it is on a hill or in the mountains. The name refers to the formation of the bog: In the first step, a fen forms in a depression, into which groundwater also flows. Dead plant parts gradually become an increasingly thick layer of peat and gradually the bog grows above the groundwater level - a raised bog is created.

      You also learn something about peat extraction and the reed. At the Riedsee there is a peat treading pool, really nice and black. This turns the walk into a highlight.

        The Wurzacher Ried is one of the largest nature reserves and one of the most important moor areas in southern Germany. Due to its size of 1812 ha, its originality and the characteristic mosaic of the most diverse moor habitats, the Wurzacher Ried is home to a very unusual flora and fauna.
        The core area, which is still largely untouched, is now considered to be the largest contiguous and still intact raised bog in Central Europe. Peat used to be cut here, but now the Wurzacher Ried is a nature reserve and peat may no longer be cut.
