Whether summer or winter - the Moosrundweg is an experience for the whole family at any time of the year.
The route is especially suitable for families with children aged 2-14 years.
Experience the diversity of nature and embark on a discovery journey with the whole family in the Werdensteiner Moos.
Highlights for the children in summer include, for example, the barefoot path. Here, little ones can feel the most diverse surfaces with their feet.
For a break, the beautifully located Burg Café Werdenstein offers itself.
Enjoy the mountain panorama here on the sun terrace and indulge yourself with local specialties and homemade cakes while your children explore the castle ruin and admire the largest horseshoe in the world.
The Werdensteiner Moos is a nature reserve and one of the largest raised bogs in the district of Oberallgäu.
The moor provides a habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species.
Highlights for children include many different experience stations, such as the barefoot path, observation towers, the castle ruin, and much more.
But even the "grown-ups" can learn varied information about the moor habitat on the information boards.
Author’s recommendation
A stop at Burg Café Werdenstein makes the family outing perfect.
Here, adults can treat themselves to local specialties and homemade cakes on the sun terrace while the little ones romp around with a knight’s game on the ruin.
Another highlight is the largest horseshoe in the world, located at the castle ruin.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
