Pfungstädter Moor, Protected area in Pfungstadt and Bickenbach, Germany.

The Pfungstädter Moor covers 97 hectares and consists of three sections with reed beds, swamps, and alder forests along former river meanders.

In 1955, the area received protection status after centuries of peat and reed extraction activities that shaped the current landscape of the moor.

The conservation site integrates into the EU bird protection network Hessische Altneckarschlingen, supporting regional environmental preservation efforts.

Visitors can access the moor through designated paths starting from the Naturfreundehaus Moorhaus, which offers parking facilities.

Wind-powered pumps transport Rhine water to maintain water levels in the moor, counteracting the effects of groundwater extraction.
