Die Moorlandschaft in Pfronten entstand vor 14.000 Jahren, als anstelle des heutigen Ortes ein großer See existierte, mit dem Hörnle im Südwesten und dem Meilinger Hang im Osten als herausragenden Landmarken. Bereits kurz danach begannen die ersten Steinzeitjäger mit der Jagd in dieser Region. Die Moore bieten wertvolle Einblicke in die Entwicklung der Vegetation dieser Gegend.

Im Landschaftsschutzgebiet "Berger Moos" könnt ihr auf dem Moor- und Streuwiesenpfad eine einzigartige Natur erleben. Ein Abstecher führt über einen gut angelegten Steg zu einer Aussichts- und Informationsplattform mitten im Moor. Ein weiterer Steg führt zu einer Plattform mit Stelen, die die Aufmerksamkeit auf verschiedene Pflanzen lenken. Ein solide gebauter Aussichtsturm bietet einen großartigen Überblick über das gesamte Moor.

Mit etwas Glück könnt ihr im "Berger Moos" seltene Tiere wie Sachsenenten, Pommerngänse, Bisamratten und viele andere Arten beobachten, sowie interessante Pflanzen wie den Sonnentau entdecken.

Author’s recommendation

Take some time to study the information boards, which will introduce you to the habitat of the moor in an interesting and playful way.
