Ehrwalder Becken, Glacial cirque in Biberwier and Ehrwald, Austria.
The Ehrwalder Becken spans 3.5 square kilometers at 963 meters elevation, surrounded by the Wetterstein Mountains and characterized by its flat moorland terrain.
A massive landslide 4,100 years ago formed the Fernpass and blocked the Loisach River's flow, transforming the basin's water drainage pattern toward the north.
The Romans constructed the Via Claudia Augusta through the moor by placing thousands of tree trunks floating in the marshy ground.
The basin features numerous walking paths used by hikers, cyclists, and horse riders, with access points from the towns of Biberwier, Lermoos, and Ehrwald.
The protected area contains transition moors with rare orchids, sedge meadows, and serves as a habitat for 51 bird species, including endangered varieties.
