Peat-covered former raised bog and extensive wet meadows. The area of 63.9 hectares has been protected as a nature reserve since 1994.
The Dürbheimer Moos includes open water areas with mud islands, fescue grasslands and sedge bulrushes, reed beds, sedge reeds, cabbage thistle meadows and wetland fallows. Depending on the water levels and time of year, a variety of ducks ( Common Teal, Tufted Duck) and waders can be seen. The meadows are good for White Stork. European Stonechat, Grasshopper Warbler and many Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer breed in the smaller bushes and reed beds in the area.
The higher trees along the northern lake are good for thrushes (Blackbird, Song Thrush, Fieldfare, Redwing) and many other small passerines. In spring and autumn Dürbheimer Moos is a Common Starling roosting site, with sometimes over a thousand Common Starling.
The Dürbheimer Moos is located directly to the west of the village of Dürbheim. Park at the marked area, there is a good parking spot for at least ten cars. Click on the P in the map for directions. Best to walk on foot (or by bicycle) from there. The circular walking route indicated on the map is about 3,5 km.
