Brief description

Circular hiking trail Schrems - W 5

On hikes in the Hochmoor Schrems Nature Park, you can truly unwind and enjoy pure nature. In addition to numerous ponds and pools, the flora and fauna of the moor landscape are particularly impressive. Cooling off is promised by the adjacent Moorbad Schrems (free entry), and culinary experiences are offered by the numerous inns in Schrems.

Description

Sights along the route: Himmelsleiter – the 20 m high observation tower promises a great view over the beautiful moor landscape. The Prügelsteg leads the visitor a short way into the moor on wooden stilts, where the fascinating plant and animal world can be discovered particularly well. You can get close to the moor in the Moortretbecken – said to work true wonders on tired feet...

Route description Nature park trail (Tut-gut Route 2)

The circular route leads over the raised bog, the so-called peat cut, continues over the Brunnberg to the Schlagkreuz and from there back to the starting point. In the water areas of the old peat cuts, past which the nature park hiking trail leads, and in the former drainage ditches, the extremely rare moor frog finds optimal conditions.
