The jetty was built in 1911 and is about 1,500 meters long.
Access to the jetty costs an entrance fee.
You have to be careful when walking on the jetty as some of the planks are very slippery, especially when wet.
In addition, leaving the jetty is prohibited because there is a risk to life and to protect nature.

The Federsee near Bad Buchau, a town west of Biberach an der Riß in Upper Swabia, is the largest contiguous moorland in southwest Germany at 33 km.

265 species of birds live in the Federsee area, including 107 breeding bird species. Over 200 breeding pairs of Whinchats and 18 breeding pairs of Marsh Harriers are worth mentioning in themselves. A museum, the Federsee Museum, and a NABU center provide information about the importance and history of the moor. The Federsee area is a bird sanctuary under the European Flora-Fauna-Habitat Directive and part of the European Natura 2000 biotope network.

The Federsee basin is known as an archaeological site with settlement remains, especially from the Late Neolithic and Bronze Ages or Urnfield periods.

The Federsee near Bad Buchau in the Upper Swabian district of Biberach is the second-largest lake in Baden-Württemberg, with an area of 1.4 km². It lies in the middle of the largest contiguous moorland in southwest Germany, covering 33 km², and is the remnant of a once much larger post-glacial lake covering approximately 50 km². This complex of lake and moor now forms the core of the geological Federsee Basin, which, following renaturation measures, now possesses outstanding natural and cultural-historical significance with its former shores and islands.
