Overview
The Site makes up part of a remarkable raised bog at an altitude of 1,425 metres above sea level in the Alpine region of Southern Bavaria. The wetland extends across the border with Austria where the adjacent Ramsar Site (Bayerische Wildalm and Wildalmfilz, Site no.1489) is found. The Site is a karst valley or polje, with a brook that vanishes into one big and several small swallow holes. Four ecological communities related to the international importance of the Site are also protected under Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive. The Bayerische Wildalm has long been used for ranching, hunting and forestry.
