Hiking trails for nature lovers

The "Schollamoos" is located in the immediate vicinity of the centre of Alberschwende. In the past, peat was extracted from this moor. Today, a well-maintained walking path leads through the birch forests and the moor area. 

Easy walking or hiking trail along the energy portals in Langenegg. At the end, the path still leads across the beautiful "Nord" nature reserve, a well-preserved moorland landscape with large areas of raised bog and fen.

A beautiful natural lake in the middle of the plant protection area Hochtannberg in the community of Schröcken.
A popular excursion destination, summer and winter.

A special feature of the Biosphärenpark Großes Walsertal is the extraordinary variety of plants on the "Hahnenkopf" in Faschina, which have developed due to the geological conditions in this area.

If you want to feel as though time has stood still, come and visit the Bizauer Obermoos. Tie your laces together, hang your walking boots around your neck, and let your bare feet rejoice in their discovery of many thousands of years of history in the life of a peat bog.

In a fairytale forest, at the entrance to Sibratsgfäll, lies the idyllic natural moor bath.

An easy, family-friendly hike on paved gravel paths and soft forest floor.
