Gletscherkessel Präg, Nature reserve in Schönau im Schwarzwald, Germany.
The Gletscherkessel Präg features steep rock formations and natural streams extending over 50 kilometers through varied mountain landscapes in the Black Forest.
Six glaciers converged in this area during the Würm glaciation period, which started 115,000 years ago and ended 10,000 years ago, forming a star-shaped valley basin.
Local farmers maintain the traditional grazing practices using Hinterwälder and Vorderwälder cattle breeds to preserve the natural mountain meadow habitats.
The protected area spans 2,867 hectares across three municipalities and contains multiple walking paths, including an extended circular trail for nature observation.
The location serves as the primary European habitat for Rogers Gold Hair Moss and provides shelter for endangered bird species like the capercaillie and three-toed woodpecker.
