Whether gentle hills, crystal-clear lakes, or ancient moorlands: Upper Swabia shows nature at its most pristine. Since the last ice age, the moor has shaped the landscape, which is mysterious, calming, and full of life. This idyllic setting, with its charming, historic towns and a variety of natural highlights, invites you to explore. A place where you can literally immerse yourself in the moor and feel the power of a unique ecosystem.
The moorland region in Baden-Württemberg, more precisely in Upper Swabia, is a unique natural area steeped in history: around 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, raised bogs and fens formed here, which still characterize the region today. These are much more than just fascinating natural backdrops; they are habitats full of biodiversity and, at the same time, retreats for anyone seeking peace and regeneration. You can experience this up close on numerous hiking and cycling trails. Whether through outdoor activities or soothing moor baths, the healing power of the moor makes every encounter something special. Numerous initiatives and associations are committed to preserving these ecosystems and invite young and old alike to discover them consciously.
The Federseemoor in Bad Buchau: A 1.5 km long wooden walkway leads deep into the reeds and offers nature experiences all year round. On a clear day, the view from the observation tower stretches all the way to the Alps.
The Wurzacher Ried: The “Riedrunde” trail leads through one of the most beautiful high moor landscapes in southern Germany, offering impressive insights dating back to the Ice Age.
The Steinacher Ried near Bad Wurzach: A circular hiking trail leads through these pristine moors and shows how a raised bog has developed over thousands of years.
The moor is not only a scenic highlight, but also a proven remedy. Especially in the moor spas of Bad Buchau, Bad Wurzach, and Bad Waldsee, the valuable peat unfolds its beneficial effects on joint problems, metabolic disorders, or simply for deep relaxation. Heated to a pleasant 45 degrees Celsius with thermal water, the peat can become a healing bath for body and soul. An experience that combines relaxation and regeneration in a completely natural way. Important: a preliminary consultation with a doctor is required before the moor bath to ensure that nothing stands in the way of the treatment.
In addition to the moors, Upper Swabia offers numerous other opportunities for outdoor adventures, water sports, and relaxation:
