Description
The name Latschensee derived from the surrounding tree flora, but has also bog spruce next to sandals. The Czech name has the same meaning: Klec means mountain pine, and jezírko meaning a small lake or pond. It is 45 meters long ( north-south) and up to 35 meters wide. Despite an area of only 0.1 hectares it is the largest bog lake in the Bavarian Forest (the largest bog lake on the Czech side of the border, in the high moor peat Chalupská or Big Königsfilz at Borová Lada, however, is much larger with 1.3 hectares). The Latschensee is located in Latschenfilz, also called Schluttergasse, a moor 390 meters west of the border with the Czech Republic and 350 meters north of the high chess Tens at an altitude of about 1150 meters. The bog developed after the last ice age after the revitalized spring water could not sink into the compacted glacial documents on crystalline granite and with the preponderance of waterlogging by nutrient-poor rainwater gradually began peat formation.
The flowing spring water eventually led to the creation of several bog lakes, of which the Latschensee is the largest on the Bavarian side. During the 20th century, it increased significantly to surface. It is about 2 feet deep, including follow 3 to 4 meters Moor mud. On its shores are growing sundew, cranberry and bog rosemary. In the humus acid, coffee brown to black water and no fish, frogs live. Only the adapted to the harsh conditions in these high altitudes large dragonfly Moor ( upland moor - hawker? ) Can be observed on the hunt on the shore for prey insects, and water skiers on the lake surface. Floating up submerged but occur marsh peat moss, liverwort and bladder sedge.
The Latschensee is close to the long-distance route E6 and can be reached by a 50 -meter-long cul with riser boards from the northwest. The riser boards in 1997 newly built for safety, as well as to conserve the sensitive nature. Only about 100 meters north-northeast lies another small nameless bog lake, which is only 14 x 18 meters, and 145 meters north-west an even smaller with a size of 8 by 12 meters. On the walk through the moors seen sinkholes, where new fens occur. This nameless Still waters are also known as bog eyes.
