A special moor phenomenon on the outskirts of Bad Buchau is the so-called Wackelwald. It is a special excursion destination for the whole family and is open to all interested visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where does the name Wackelwald come from?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quite simply, the trees in the forest stand on boggy ground that was created by the silting up of the post-glacial Federsee lake. A stable surface layer has formed between the roots of the trees and plants, under which is spongy soft peat soil. The soil gives way with every step and is therefore springy. This makes it very popular not only with visitors, but also with locals for jogging, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

History of the forest:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There used to be an ice pond in the forest, which was used by a brewery to cool the beer cellar. After reforestation, a spruce forest later developed here. Today, the forest is no longer used for forestry and continues to develop into a near-natural moorland forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forest is not only a popular excursion destination, it is also a habitat for a variety of trees, plants and animals that call the moorland forest their home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
