Informative circular route on the subject of moors directly on the beautiful Soier Lake

On the eastern edge of Lake Soier, the moorland nature trail leads to three information stations . There, information panels clearly explain the origin and importance of the moor for the region.

Bad Bayersoien boasts its raised bogs - the peat from which is extracted in limited quantities not only serves the spa industry , but the areas are also a tourist attraction , as this protected raised bog is very rare and only occurs in a few places.

The trail is intended to offer visitors more than just light entertainment: Biologist Dr. Helmut Hermann wants to draw attention to the destruction of large areas of peatland and calls for greater sustainability for nature in general, and especially for the invaluable raised bogs. Hermann, who provided the texts for the signs, speaks enthusiastically about the ' ecosystem as a service provider '.

Raised bogs are important for climate, flood, and species protection.

Our tip
