Details for: Moor and field

Brief description

On hikes in the Hochmoor Schrems Nature Park you can really switch off and enjoy pure nature. In addition to numerous ponds and pools, the flora and fauna of the moor landscape is particularly impressive. The directly adjacent Moorbad Schrems (free admission) promises cooling off, and the numerous inns in Schrems promise culinary experiences.

Description

Places of interest along the route: Himmelsleiter (ladder to heaven) - the 20 m high lookout point promises a great view over the beautiful moor landscape. The whipping post leads the visitor on wooden posts a little way into the moor, where you can discover the fascinating flora and fauna particularly well. You can get up close and personal with the moor in the moor treading pool - it is said to work wonders for tired feet...

This circular hike requires a bit of stamina, but it's worth it: the starting point is the UnterWasserReich car park. From there, the trail winds its way across the high moor to Langschwarza. Via the Waldschenke and the chapel of St. Johann im Walde you will get to Neuhöf, past the "House of Horses", to Ehrenhöbarten and the abandoned "Brombühel" quarry back to Schrems to the starting point.
