Feldmoos high moorland

Have you never landed in mud? You are now on high moorland. This rare area is a protected nature reserve. Only specific species of plants can grow in the soft ground, those which love wet subsoil and can survive with very few nutrients. They are true starvation artists and specialists, for example mosses and lichen, cotton grass, sedges and sundew. They grow more slowly than other plants.

The peat soil in high moorland is created when water accumulates in a hollow and dead plant matter forms an organic sludge. The peat layer grows very slowly, around only one millimetre per year. This is why you should keep to the path to avoid damaging the soil. The animals which live in the high moorland have also adapted to their sparse habitat. This is home to Alpine newts, common frogs, dragonflies and marsh grasshoppers.
