Federsee

The Federsee is a lake in Upper Swabia, Baden-Württemberg, surrounded by the largest moor in south-western Germany. The moor has preserved the remains of many Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements, including the Wasserburg Buchau, and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps. The town of Bad Buchau stands beside it.
