A high moor in a nature reserve – it couldn't be more beautiful!
Tour description:
This is a really sustainable tour: arrive by public transport and enjoy regional, hand-made products on the two alpine pastures. On this easy and family-friendly hike, even the all-terrain pushchair can be taken with you. The route first runs briefly on asphalt, later on a well-developed forest road and from the Röthelmoos Alm on a beautiful forest path along the Wappbach - almost made for playing and building dams. The historical "Triftklause" is a reminder of the strenuous and extremely dangerous work of the woodcutters. Incidentally, the last drift took place in 1957 on the Sonntagshorn in the rear Kraxenbachtal. The water was dammed up a meter high at the Triftklausen in order to transport the wood with momentum to the Saline in Traunstein. The timber industry has shaped the Ruhpolding valley and its people and can be authentically experienced in a multimedia journey through time in the Holzknechtmuseum in the Laubau. Arrival with the village line 9532 from Ruhpolding train station to Urschlau. And back from Weitsee with the RVO Regionalverkehr Oberbayern line 9506 from the Weitsee/Röthelmoos stop back to Ruhpolding. TipRight at the starting point in Urschlau is the small pilgrimage church of Maria Schnee, built in 1631 during the Thirty Years' War to appease Our Lady. It's not just a special place - when a thunderstorm comes up, the bells are still traditionally rung here to drive away the storm. An old custom that has survived to this day. Between May and October it is essential to stop off at the Dandlalm or Langerbauern Alm. On the Langerbauern Alm, the cream cheese for the snacks is lovingly made in-house every day. Although there are no longer any dairy cows (the milk comes from the neighbors in the alpine pastures), there are plenty of small and large animals to pet, from ponies to cats. Don't be too late for the incredibly delicious Kaiserschmarrn at the Dandlalm - it's usually only available until late afternoon! Sturdy shoes, sun and rain protection, and something to drink should always be with you.
