Schwenninger Moos

Schwenninger Moos is a nature reserve covering about 97 hectares of wetland with marked trails and multiple observation platforms throughout the area. The paths connect various viewpoints where visitors can see the characteristic plants and wildlife of this habitat.

The government designated this area as a protected reserve in 1939 to preserve the habitat and native species. This early protection reflects a long tradition of safeguarding this valuable wetland.

The wetland serves as a place where visitors can observe how specialized plants and animals thrive in these soggy environments. Walking through it shows how local ecosystems depend on this particular type of landscape.

The area is open year-round and marked trails allow visitors to explore independently or join guided tours. The observation platforms are easy to reach and provide good opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife photography.

This wetland is the source of the Neckar River, one of the region's major waterways. Rare plant species grow here that thrive only under these specific conditions and are found nowhere else nearby.
