Stopped here on the way home.
Highly recommended for nature lovers. Lots of bird species to watch.
But you should go very early or late in the evening.
From 10:00 a.m. you are no longer alone.
I'm glad I still held on.

The starting point is the parking lot at Federsee Steg in Bad Buchau. A wooden footbridge takes us 1.5 km through the moorland, past various viewpoints, to the Federsee. Accessible in all seasons, the lake invites you to linger and watch waterfowl.
