Federsee

Nature Reserve

Nature reserves constitute one of the most important conservation categories in Germany and Austria. The exact definitions vary, but together they combine the conservation of natural landscape, the protection of endangered species and the preservation for scientific interests.

Der Federsee und Teile des Federseeriedes liegen in einem glazialen Becken. Sie sind ein typisches Beispiel für Verlandungsvorgänge mit allen Stadien der Entwicklung vom offenen Wasser über die Wasser- und Uferpflanzen zum Flach- und Hochmoor. Bemerkenswert sind vielfältige Biotope und die sehr artenreiche Vogelwelt, in erster Linie Wasservögel, Greifvögel und Singvögel. Das Naturschutzgebiet Federsee ist Rastplatz für Zugvögel.
