The Bärenfilz is part of the moorland area around the Thurn Pass. Peat has never been mined in this moor, which is why it is very original and well preserved. …

February 24, 2022,🇦🇹🚶‍♀️🚶Winterwanderung im Wasenhochmoor❄️☃️

Because yesterday it was so beautiful in the high moor, we are there again today, today only with spikes and on normal paths... However, it would have been easier with snowshoes. And we were rewarded again in the Hochmoorstüberl, which we can absolutely recommend!

Our obligatory round in the Wasenmoos Hochmoor, this time from the parking lot below the Hochmoor Stüberl. With temperatures of around 9-10° absolutely spring-like 💐, but unfortunately very little snow. With spikes it went quite well on the icy paths, snowshoes would have been overdressed ☺️.
A wonderful landscape, even with far too few ❄️ for the beginning of February …

There was still a lot of snow on the way, but the view of the Tauern was still wonderful at the beginning. The tendril head 1530m is not attractive. In the afternoon there was rain and later snow up to 900m.
