The Federsee near Bad Buchau in the Upper Swabian district of Biberach, with an area of 1.4 km², is the second largest lake in Baden-Württemberg. It lies in the middle of the largest contiguous moorland area in Southwest Germany, covering 33 km², and is the remnant of a once much larger post-glacial lake that covered about 50 km². This complex of lake and moor today represents the core of the geological Federsee basin, which, after renaturation measures, now possesses outstanding natural and cultural-historical significance with its former shores and islands.
