Freisinger Moos, Fen landscape in Landkreis Freising, Germany.
The Freisinger Moos is a fen landscape with grasslands and reed beds stretching from Giggenhausen through Neufahrn and Eching toward the Dachauer Moos. The terrain consists of open meadows and wet areas shaped by water and seasonal moisture.
The area was used for centuries as meadowland and was shaped by peat extraction, which changed its natural structure. This history of use and change made it valuable for conservation efforts today.
Local farmers and conservation groups work together to maintain the meadow areas and keep the landscape open and diverse. You can see the results of this care in how the grasslands and reed beds are managed across the region.
An observation tower near Pulling, southwest of Weihenstephan, offers views across the wetland for watching birds in their natural habitat. The site is accessible year-round, though it is most rewarding during spring and autumn migration seasons.
The fen supports breeding curlews and hosts rare plants such as Showy Catchfly and a particular type of Gentian that grow nowhere else nearby. This combination of uncommon bird species and distinctive plants makes it a special place for nature enthusiasts.
