Rothenthurm High Moor

Highlight • Natural Monument

It's also really beautiful in winter when it's snowed. You have to be careful because you're stepping over a stream bed here and there, but it was all very doable in hiking boots.

April 6, 2025,Moorweg Rothenthurm

Once again on foot, I explored Switzerland's largest raised bog in Rothenthurm.

Knowing little about bogs, the colors appear magnificent. The golden autumn colors of the reeds are particularly striking.

I passed an information board, however, which pointed out how this bog is suffering. It is far too dry. Signs point to reeds, which are blooming everywhere, pleasing to the …

November 2, 2022,SZ/ Flasche Moorlandschaft Wanderung Biberbrugg nach Rothenthurm. 👍

A beautiful walk through the forest and mostly through moorland. From Biberbrugg to Rothenthurm. Despite the clouds, wet path, I really liked it, after all it didn't rain. Unique, especially beautiful if you don't hike through moorland that much. 👍☀️🍄

April 27, 2024,Biberbrugg – Rothenthurm

I had read about this walk and it seemed well reviewed. I checked some of the local webcams and they were snow-free so with the hopes of spotting spring flowers, we started our walk.

The walk started with the rare sighting of a forklift transporting a bicycle on the highway, bizarre!

February 5, 2025,Biberbrugg - Rothenthurm

By car to Biberbrugg. Then hiked along the Biber, then through the raised moor to Rothenthurm.
Fog: zero
Sun: 100%
Snow/ice: medium
Mud: quite a lot
We had already done the route on 2 wheels (in summer!), so it was interesting to see many places in winter.
Back with the SOB. Conclusion: a very successful day in the fresh air.
