Westricher Moorniederung, Special Area of Conservation in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Westricher Moorniederung spans 2,152 hectares across eleven municipalities, featuring extensive wetlands, reed beds, and riparian forests between Waldmohr and Kaiserslautern.
In 1800, this region consisted of inaccessible moorland, which underwent systematic drainage and peat extraction processes for agricultural development and forestry purposes.
The conservation area represents a vital component of Germany's environmental protection initiatives, contributing to the preservation of natural habitats within the European Natura 2000 network.
Visitors can explore designated hiking trails and cycling routes throughout the protected area, with the Palatinate Moorland Tour extending 26 kilometers through the marsh.
The elevation within this conservation zone ranges from 222 to 260 meters above sea level, containing diverse watercourses including the Erbach, Glan, Mohrbach, and Lauter rivers.
