"Schwemm" Moorland

Our 65 hectares "Schwemm" is the largest contiguous moor area in Northern Tyrol. The diversity of the wetlands as well as the unique flora and fauna make this nature reserve a true natural jewel. Since 2003, the Schwemm has been classified as a Natura 2000 site, which protects the natural habitats of our wild animal species as well as rare plants. For example, 33 of the 70 dragonfly species of Northern Tyrol can be found in the "Schwemm" area.

A 16 meters high lookout tower offers you a breathtaking view of the fascinating primeval landscape from above. Here, near the Moarwirt, you have the opportunity to spot rare animals or to identify rare plants. During a "moor tour" our experts will take you on an exciting journey of discovery through the "Schwemm".

Did you know that you can hear moor birch trees injured by an axe wailing and crying? Or that a sprig of rosemary heath under the pillow makes dreams come true? These and many other folk wisdoms and stories have been handed down over the years in folk and superstition and still offer exciting insights into days long gone.

In an entertaining way, our moor experts Manu, Steffi and Gerhard introduce you to the fascinating world of moors. Whether frogs or newts, dragonflies or water beetles, there will be a lot on offer. In addition to informative games, you will also be equipped with fishing nets to carefully hunt for the inhabitants of the moors.
