Future for the Donaumoos: Hiking exhibition in the Aichach district office!

In the Aichach district office, the hiking exhibition "Future for the Donaumoos" starts, which remains open to interested visitors until the end of the summer vacation. This exhibition is organized by the Donaumoos purpose association and the Donaumoos team and focuses on the potential of the bogs in Donaumoos, one of the largest moor areas in southern Germany. District Administrator Klaus Metzger was present at the opening and emphasized the importance of the bog body for the preservation of regional nature.

The exhibition not only provides information about the historical origin and colonization of the bog since the end of the 18th century, but also addresses the immense potential of the bog for climate protection, biodiversity and flood protection. The organizers report that Moore not only acts as CO2 sinks, but also filter and store water, which is of great importance for the environment. These aspects are particularly important because over 90% of the original bogs were drained in Germany, which has a significant impact on the climate.

special highlights of the exhibition

The hiking exhibition offers visitors an interactive experience. These include prototypes from research and development that have arisen in moor areas, as well as an additional station for citizen participation. Here the guests can write down their ideas on flags and attach them on a Donaumoos card. Such initiatives are a real step towards community design and added value.

• Opening times: Monday to Friday from 7.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., Mondays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 2pm to 6pm.
• important topics:
  • Potential of bogs for climate protection.
  • variety of the habitats offered and the regulation of the water balance.
  • New value chains in agriculture by combining area management and moor protection.

The district of Aichach-Friedberg has taken over the responsibility for development in Donaumoos since joining the Donaumoos purpose association two years ago. This shows that even at the political level, the topic of moor protection is increasingly becoming aware of. It doesn't just stay when talking; Rather, the goal is to take responsibility and initiate steps of action.

moore as a habitat are invaluable in today's world. They not only store carbon, but also offer habitats for numerous specialized species. It is all the more important that these unique ecosystems are protected. According to a report on environmental education initiatives, medium damage to drained moisturized bog dodies is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions that should be avoided. If this succeeds, large amounts of CO2 could be removed from the atmosphere again.

The hiking exhibition in Aichach is therefore not only an informative program item for environmentally conscious citizens, but also an important step towards the revival and protection of the Danubeoose. We can be excited to see how the initiative will develop.
