Old Bavarian Donaumoos
The Old Bavarian Donaumoos () is an old fen on the southern side of the Danube, southwest of Ingolstadt, Bavaria, in the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district. The fen, drained from 1790 onwards, has now dropped 3 metres (9.8 ft) in surface level because of the drainage and associated environmental effects. The ''Donaumoos'' was once the largest area of fenland in Southern Germany. It is one of two former fens named ''Donaumoos'', the other being the Swabian Donaumoos (), also predominantly located in Bavaria, between Ulm and Gundelfingen.
