The Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried (formerly Pfrunger Ried), with its 2,600 hectares, is the second largest contiguous moorland in southwest Germany after the Federsee. The Ried lies at an average elevation of 610 m above sea level in the districts of Ravensburg and Sigmaringen, near the municipalities of Wilhelmsdorf and Ostrach. It is surrounded by Tertiary molasse uplands, which reach their highest elevations at Rinkenburg (718 m above sea level) and Höchsten (837.8 m above sea level). Only small parts of the moorland, which once covered almost 3,000 hectares, have survived. Almost 2,000 hectares have been converted to grassland, and about 400 hectares are planted with birch and black alder trees. 120 hectares of water bodies were created by peat cutting; thus, the lowland and intermediate moor areas in particular have disappeared, with only a few remnants. However, the raised bogs have been largely preserved and cover an area of almost 150 hectares. The Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried Nature Reserve has existed since 1980, covering an area of 780 hectares. It is intensively managed both scientifically and through experiential education and is accessible to visitors via several nature trails. Today's bog area is the remnant of a post-glacial lake that gradually filled with sediment and mineral deposits after the melting of the Rhine glacier, thus partially silting up. This gave rise to fens and, in some places, raised bogs above them. These areas were characterized by depth and wetness and were unsuitable for permanent human settlement. However, mineral infiltration also led to the formation of permanent islands on which the first permanent human settlements emerged. The core of the area, however, remained uninhabited and was considered uncultivable, inferior land. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfrunger-Burgweiler_Ried

From the almost 39 meter high Bannwaldturm you have a sensational panorama over the large moorland area of the Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried nature reserve. Highly recommended, don't be put off by the 219 steps.
