나쁜 와일드바드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

According to the signs, cyclists are asked to dismount. And for a good reason!

The plank path over the moor and the Wildsee are an absolute top highlight. I always fall in love with the panorama. Even better off-peak.

Idyllically located Wildsee in the high moor, which can be visited quietly and during the week without the hustle and bustle. It is essential to ensure that you stay on the laid out path that leads through the middle of the moor. A couple of benches provide an opportunity to enjoy the view of the lake. Along the wooden plank path you can find information about the moor and nature on some boards.

The unspoilt moor landscape around the Wildsee is the largest natural high moor area in Germany. The plateaus between the Sommerberg and Kaltenbronn have been designated as a nature reserve. In the middle of a huge forest area lies an unspoilt landscape with high and forest moors, cirques and block heaps. The high moors around the Kaltenbronn are something special, as all visitors know. But few also know that the plants and animals of the moors react sensitively to even the slightest change. Damage to this unique habitat is irreversible. As early as 1928, the Wildseemoor was declared a "protected forest". In the years 1939 and 1940 the nature reserves Wildseemoor and Hohlohsee were designated.

Like most raised bogs, the bogs on the Kaltenbronn were formed at the end of the last ice age more than 10,000 years ago. The melting of massive ice sheets created depressions where water could not drain away. The high rainfall that prevails on the Kaltenbronn caused the landscape to become swampy. This allowed lush vegetation to develop on the nutrient-poor sandstone subsoil. Dying plants, whose plant remains did not completely decompose in the oversaturated soil, were overgrown by new plants. This process caused a thick layer of peat to develop over the course of thousands of years. The plants gradually lost contact with the groundwater-bearing soil layers due to the peat layer and could no longer be supplied with sufficient nutrient-rich water. The nutrient-poor rainwater led to a change in the existing vegetation, in which only undemanding plants such as cotton grass, cranberry, rosemary heath, round-leaved sundew and the few-flowered sedge could survive. In drier places, heather, cloudberry, crowberry and leaf mosses also occur. Source: https://www.schwarzwald-informationen.de/wildsee-hornsee-kaltenbronn.html

The Kaltenbronn high moor with the two lakes is worth seeing. You should definitely take your time.

Wild gorge with a varied river course and sometimes difficult passages. It's just fun.

Definitely go during the week
