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