Weingartener Moor Boardwalk

The wooden footbridge through the moor with the beautiful view hut for the ornithologists or everyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful landscape is something very special. Be sure to visit when you are nearby.

The Weingartener Moor nature reserve is one of the last remaining near-natural areas of the Kinzig-Murg trough, a former river valley on the eastern edge of the Upper Rhine Graben. It is a fen with open water areas, surrounded by a large swamp forest. Both of these factors result in a species-rich fauna. The birdlife of the reserve is particularly diverse. The moor is an important spawning ground of European importance for 14 native amphibian species. Such wet and wet biotopes have become very rare in the Karlsruhe area, particularly due to drainage measures in favor of agricultural use. Today, the Weingartener Moor and the Grötzinger Swamp Forest are one of the most famous nature reserves in the Karlsruhe area.

Really nice to walk through the nature and over the boards, but CAUTION, when it rains, rubber boots are a MUST
