Wettenberger Ried, Nature reserve in Hochdorf, Germany
The Wettenberger Ried extends over 66 hectares of protected land between Hochdorf and Eberhardzell in Baden-Württemberg, featuring wetlands and raised bogs.
The reserve originated from two shallow lakes formed during the last ice age over 180,000 years ago, gradually transforming into raised bogs.
The area received protection status in 1982 and became a Bannwald in 2003, allowing the forest to develop naturally without human intervention.
Visitors can explore the reserve through a 2.4-kilometer circular path while observing water-loving plants such as cranberry, reed grass, and cotton grass.
The dead spruce trunks throughout the reserve create natural light gaps, enabling peat moss growth and supporting the regeneration of native bog vegetation.
