Wildsee

The Wildsee lake spans 1.15 hectares at 909 meters elevation, featuring a wooden boardwalk that crosses the moorland landscape over the water surface.

The formation of this bog terrain began 10,000 years ago, influenced by impervious bunter sandstone beds and elevated precipitation patterns in the region.

The Black Forest Club maintains the site within the Kaltenbronn Nature Reserve, demonstrating German commitment to environmental protection through structured conservation efforts.

Visitors can access the lake via marked hiking trails, including the Middle Way path from Pforzheim to Waldshut, with informational boards along the route.

The lake environment contains an eight-meter-deep peat layer supporting specialized vegetation like shrubs, mosses, and cottongrasses adapted to nutrient-poor conditions.
