Hiking

For thousands of years, people have been concerned with the influence of the time of felling on the quality of wood. Did you know that wood felled when the moon is waning, so-called “moon wood”, is particularly durable and resistant?

On the new “Moon Trail” in the Zauchensee World Cup venue you will learn mystical and scientific facts about the moon at several stations. For example, you can look at the sky with the telescope at the observatory or learn all about the influence of the moon on wood at the “Wood Energy Filling Station”. In the Moon Crater Garden you can collect herbs that should only be harvested at a certain moon phase for a higher active ingredient content.

At the end of this exciting hike, which is ideal for families with children, you can review everything you learned about the moon today in the Felserhütte.
