Bodenstation Weilheim, Transmission station in Wielenbach, Germany.
Bodenstation Weilheim is a research facility near Wielenbach that collects data about soil, water, and weather conditions. The station features multiple measurement instruments across a large property in Bavaria, continuously gathering and storing information about environmental conditions.
The facility was established in 2002 by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment and began monitoring using advanced lysimeter technology. Since then, the station has systematically collected data about soil properties and water movement for scientific analysis.
The station maintains connections with regional scientific institutions, contributing data for agricultural research and environmental protection initiatives throughout southern Germany.
The station is a research facility typically open to visitors with scientific interest, and visits should be arranged in advance with the operators. The measurement devices operate year-round, so data collection continues in all weather conditions and seasons.
Underground measurement instruments extend several meters deep into the soil to track hidden water movement through different layers. These buried sensors reveal how water flows through various soil layers in ways that surface measurements alone cannot show.
