Mountain hikes Mooswiesen meadows circuit

Description

Start at the Waldschwimmbad (forest swimming pool) car park and follow the path south as it leads downhill towards a crossroads. Turn right towards Freundsheim and follow the path past three small lakes (privately owned) and a small chapel until you come to the hamlet of Gschwent. Immediately afterwards, you will see a large paddock. From there, follow the dirt road that leads off to the left until you reach the edge of the forest. The next section of forest trail offers wonderful views of the beautiful nature reserve on the Mieming Plateau with its characteristic larch meadows. The contrast between the vast open spaces and the striking Mieming Range is a very impressive sight. The route continues past Kohlplatz towards the Moosalm guesthouse. Anyone interested in nature can take a stroll along the 150-metre-long jetty to observe the colourful action on and in the waters of the Mooswiesen biotope. Finally, the route continues back to the starting point.
