Wurzacher Ried, Protected moorland in Bad Wurzach, Germany.
The Wurzacher Ried extends over 1,800 hectares, featuring untouched peatlands, wooden walkways, and diverse ecosystems with specialized plant species.
The natural reserve originated 450,000 years ago during the Ice Age when the retreat of Rhine glaciers created a deep basin that evolved into a moor.
The European Council recognized the ecological importance of Wurzacher Ried by awarding it the European Diploma for Protected Areas in 1989.
Visitors need sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, and insect protection during summer months when exploring the wooden pathways through the moor.
The area contains the largest continuous intact raised bog in Central Europe, with one-third of its surface remaining completely undisturbed.
