location

The around 32 hectare nature reserve is a drained and therefore bushy low moor on the Flossach south of Balzhausen. It is the only remaining low moor in the valley south of the Danube with the remains of the typical flat moor flora and meadow-breeding bird species. Regular care prevents further encroachment. A hydrological rehabilitation is planned. In 2011, a number of shallow hollows were created in agricultural meadows by farmers and the State Association for Bird Protection in Bavaria , which regularly become completely wet and provide a habitat for amphibians.

The Kleine Flossach , which connects the Hasel and Mindel rivers, flows through the reserve .
