Mushroom Nature Trail
Open
Instructive trail for young and old! Along the trail there are replicas of the local mushrooms with explanation about edibility, etc.
Family-friendly trail (also suitable for prams) in Rohrmoos with information about the local mushrooms. Illustrated signs teach us all kinds of interesting facts about native mushrooms. The route runs mainly through the forest along well-maintained forest paths that are suitable for buggies. Parking and toilets are available at the valley terminal of Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen cable car, where you can also get some refreshments at Familienhotel Austria.
