Theme trail - Great Moor Circuit

The tour starts at the parking lot on Kirmesauer Straße in Bad Bayersoien.

From there you continue directly to Lake Soier, which you circle almost completely. In summer the lake invites you to take a refreshing swim. Afterwards you can relax in the loungers provided.

There is also a barefoot trail running along the lake, where young and old can explore a wide variety of surfaces with their feet. 

You then leave the Soier See loop and pass through the Findenauer Forest to Rochusfeld near Bad Kohlgrub. In this typical raised bog landscape, peat is still actively extracted for the spa treatments.

Now you arrive at the Bad Kohlgrub moor nature trail. Here you can learn a lot about the special features of our valuable healing moor and a small pond with a lounger invites you to relax. 

They leave the town passing the districts of Vorderkehr and Hinterkehr and hike back to Bad Bayersoien via the Geizenmoos and the HAIKU trail.

Another moor educational trail awaits you here, which clearly explains the origins and importance of the moor for the region. 

If you now continue and leave the nature trail, you will return to the starting point of the tour. 

Alternatively, you can of course choose Bad Kohlgrub as the start and end point.
