ヴァルトハウゼンの湖・トップ20

From the cycle path, you can catch a glimpse of the beautiful Ummendorf natural lake. Those who wish to rest can do so here on a small bench with a view of the lake.

The restaurant at Lindenweiher is closed and will not be reopened

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

The footbridge is definitely worth it. The circular trail follows the road a lot, so you have to be a fan of that.

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.

Very nice excursion destination. The wooden footbridge leads through the moor and reeds to the lake. There are benches at various places, a small wooden hut on the footbridge with a great view over the Federsee.

beautiful view over the lake and great reflection of the path
