Hörfeld Moor

If you walk over the Emmi Antes footbridge, you have the opportunity to experience the moor up close and observe the unique vegetation and moor fauna. You will pass some boards that inform you about the Natura 2000 and landscape protection area. At the moor pond, you will learn how the moor formed over the last millennia. The path continues along the Hörfeldbach to the Speckbauer Bridge. Here you turn left and walk along a pleasantly shady forest path towards Althaus. On the "Althauser Blick," a viewing terrace situated high above the moor, you can take a break and enjoy the magnificent view of the Zirbitzkogel and over the moor.

To the west you can see the ruins of Althaus – you briefly follow the path along the pasture until you reach the gravel road, which takes you back to the level of the moor. If you climb the moor observation tower, you can view the moor meadows from above. The route continues over the Althauser Bridge towards the state road. The return to the starting point is made on the Görtschitztal cycle path beside the road. Along the way, you pass a large information board giving you an overview of the special features of the moor.

Sturdy footwear, drinking supply, and sun protection are recommended!

please stay on the marked path
