Schopflocher Moor, Nature reserve in Lenningen and Bissingen an der Teck, Germany.
Schopflocher Moor is a nature reserve in the Lenningen and Bissingen an der Teck area with peatland, forested sections, and open meadows. The site features wooden boardwalks and walking paths that connect different landscape zones throughout the protected area.
The moor formed over 10,000 years from an ancient crater lake created by volcanic activity 17 million years ago. Protection arrived in 1942, conserving a landscape shaped by deep geological processes that stretched back millions of years.
Visitors walk across wooden boardwalks to experience the open moorland and observe specialized plants adapted to wet conditions. The landscape itself serves as a living classroom where people connect with a natural environment shaped by local geology.
The reserve can be accessed through parking areas with trail options of varying lengths to suit different visitors. Wooden boardwalks provide safe passage over wet ground while allowing clear views of the landscape.
This is the only highland moor in the entire Swabian Alb region, making it a botanical rarity in the area. Visitors can observe plant species here that normally grow in locations far to the north.
