View of Leipheimer Moos

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Leipheim Moor is part of the Swabian Danube Moor. For millennia, peat grew in the wet soils here. Later, like so many moors in Central Europe, the area was drained. To protect the sensitive habitats, rewetting measures were implemented starting in the 1990s. Since then, the area has been undergoing a transformation. The meadows are becoming wetter, typical moorland habitats are returning, and with them, rare species such as the curlew, snipe, and white stork.

Observation Tower Mooswaldsee / South Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can observe the feathered variety from the bird observation tower at Mooswaldsee. Information boards help to identify the birds. You can also experience the impressive spectacle when hundreds of greylag geese fly over the observation tower on the Mooswaldsee on rustling wings to spend the night. The Leipheimer Moos and the wild Mooswald cover around 500 hectares of natural landscape. Source: bayerisch-schwaben.de/a-vogel-observation-tower-am-mooswaldsee
