Düdinger Möser, Protected wetland area in Düdingen, Switzerland
Düdinger Möser is a wetland reserve with six distinct sections containing water bodies, meadows, and forested areas. The protected area covers about 22 hectares and offers a varied landscape of different habitats within its boundaries.
The wetland formation started about 15,000 years ago as a natural process. During World War II, peat cutting created several water bodies that shape the landscape you see today.
This wetland holds rare plant species and shows visitors how important these marshy areas are for Switzerland's natural balance. Walking through the different zones, you can see how the landscape supports a variety of life that depends on wet ground.
You can reach the reserve on foot from Fribourg using the Grandfey viaduct or directly from Düdingen. Marked paths guide you through the different sections and help you navigate safely through the protected area.
The reserve provides habitat for seven different amphibian species living in the varied water and land sections. This mix of environments makes it a key refuge for animals that need damp conditions.
