Descrizione

The Ampermoos nature reserve is located north of Lake Ammersee, between Eching am Ammersee and Grafrath. The Amper and some smaller streams flow through a 550 hectare wetland that is protected by the Ramsar Convention and the EU. The Ampermoos is one of the largest low-flow fens in Bavaria. The name Ampermoos indicates a low moor, because in Bavarian “moos” stands for a low moor. The interior of the Ampermoos is not realy accessible by paths. A nature observation tower near Kottgeisering enables a view over the area. Over 300 species of birds have been spotted on low moors, wet meadow, reeds and the adjacent lake Ammersee, including Quaglia, Albanella minore, Nibbio reale, Nibbio bruno, Smeriglio and Falco pellegrino. The Ampermoos is an important breeding ground for Beccaccino, Pavoncella, Chiurlo maggiore, Stiaccino, Saltimpalo and Pispola. And during migration a resting place for many migratory birds in spring and autumn. In winter the Ampermoos is a great area to see Albanella reale because sometimes big groups use the area as a roost during the winter months. Averla maggiore can also be seen in winter. Geese, ducks and grebes can be found in the (fenced) clarification ponds in Eching am Ammersee (see the map). Note: The Ampermoos area cannot be entered from March 1st to July 15th. But there are paths around the area (see the map). Several information boards in the area help with orientation.
