On the educational trail through the moor The formation of the Premer Filz began at the end of the Würm glaciation about 15,000 years ago. At that time, the Lech glacier gradually retreated from the Alpine foothills. Due to the east-west running molasse ridges near Lechbruck, the meltwaters were dammed up to form the so-called Lechbrucker Lake. Over time, the Lech deepened more and more, while tributary streams carried gravel into the lake. This caused the eastern part of the lake basin to be cut off and subsequently silted up. Over millennia, the original low moor developed into a raised bog. As an FFH area, it is now under European protection.
