This 4.45 km circular trail features adventure stops. Here, you'll have to solve puzzles, combine clues, and demonstrate your spirit of discovery. Tree trunks reveal valuable information, and you can create moorland art. At the valley or mountain station of the Rossweid gondola, you can pick up a research kit containing your very own expedition equipment (magnifying glass, compass, etc.). The collected research results can be entered into the Moor Whisperer Passport. Those with the correct answers will receive a research reward at the end.

Hello my lovelies This beautiful hike starts directly at the public car park (fee required) at the Rossweid gondola. Immediately after the start, it goes uphill for about 1 km. :-) It's not much, but I wanted to mention it. The entire hike is really beautiful and you have a fantastic view of the Alps - simply gorgeous! The paths are well developed and easy to walk. However, you should be in good shape and sure-footed. I enjoyed this hike alone and at the same time tested my new drone, the HoverAir X1. (I added two films to the video Relive :-)). Towards the end of the tour there is a section that is closed - see the photo. You can see that preparations for the winter season are already underway here. Don't forget: This tour is also part of the UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere. Highlights that I experienced: - Very beautiful paths - Fantastic view of the Alps - Pure nature FYI: Here is the video relive.cc/de/view/v7O9299VWL6 Equipment: Normal hiking equipment FYI: Easy hike Difficulty level: T1 (hiking) I wish you all the best and mountain healing.
