Root Carpet in Wackelwald, Federsee

Highlight • Forest

In the wobbly forest, everything wobbles, but if you look closely, you'll discover quite a few things: exposed roots that form a beautiful carpet.

Streuwiese Observation Platform (Federsee)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Wackelwald makes a tour through the trees an experience. It does not wobble so well that it could scare you. It's just a nice feeling.

If you bring time and binoculars with you when visiting the Federsee, you can observe many waterfowl and fish. For us it also had something calming.

November 19, 2024,Spaziergang Federseesteg und Wackelwald in Bad Buchau

On the way back from Bad Saulgau we made a detour to Bad Buchau. Unfortunately the weather was not playing along. A strong and cold wind blew around our noses. That's why there were hardly any people on the Federseesteg and we were completely alone in the Wackelwald.
