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.

A very beautiful and less frequented path parallel to the Federsee bridge. You're surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. Ideal for a day trip or a hike with your dog. Our dog really enjoyed it, as he was constantly sniffing around because of all the interesting smells. :-)

It's amazing that the birches grow in the swamp moor like that, since they don't really like the direct water.
