Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried, Nature reserve in Ostrach, Germany.

The Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried extends across 440 hectares of moorland, containing diverse wetland habitats, reed beds, and natural water features throughout the landscape.

The area received its protected status in 1941, marking the beginning of structured conservation efforts to preserve the second-largest moorland in southwestern Germany.

The Naturschutzzentrum Wilhelmsdorf center hosts exhibitions about the moorland's development and offers educational programs for students to learn about wetland ecosystems.

Visitors can access multiple hiking routes ranging from 6 to 12 kilometers, with designated paths starting from the nature center in Wilhelmsdorf or Burgweiler.

The Bannwaldturm observation tower rises 38.8 meters high, containing 219 steps that lead to a viewing platform overlooking the entire moorland expanse.
