Description

The mountain plants are exposed to the extreme living conditions in the alpine mountain environment. At the higher altitudes, the summer is very short and the plants have little time to bloom. On the created mountain flower trails on Gerschnialp and Trübsee the visitor learns in an uncomplicated way about different mountain flower species and their living conditions. Surrounded by an impressive alpine mountain and glacier world, the hiker can learn about the mountain flowers that have settled in our area by means of yellow panels.

Directions

The mountain flower trail Gerschnialp leads from the station Gerschnialp to Untertrübsee. From there you have the possibility to take the cable car "Älplerseil" up to Obertrübsee or there is also a hiking trail that leads from Untertrübsee to Obertrübsee. On the mountain flower path Trübsee you hike from Obertrübsee leisurely along the lake to the middle station Trübsee.

Catering

On the mountain flower path Gerschnialp you have the possibility to eat in the restaurant Untertrübsee. On the Bergblumenpfad Trübsee there are various barbecue areas with wood along the lake or in the Berghotel restaurant there are many delicacies to try.
