Beautiful, large swimming area. Spacious and well-designed. You can surf and boat on the adjacent lake. A paradise for anglers.

You can even take a short circular walk through the moor from the footbridge at the end/beginning. This puts you in the middle of it, rather than just being there. There are steps leading up from the footbridge. Easy to miss. See pictures.

The Northern Federseeried nature reserve includes a section of slope that is often found in the Swabian Alb. The marl landslide slopes, the rock formations and the forests form a habitat worth protecting for rare plants and animals.
