A botanical circular route on the Rossweid

Immediately behind the Rossweid, the path enters a fern-rich blueberry-spruce forest and you feel like you're in another world: bark beetles and storms have left gaps in the forest where, besides spruces, deciduous trees like rowan and willow as well as numerous herbaceous plants grow. Embedded in the forest lies calcareous small sedge meadows covered with pink glowing orchids and white tufts of cotton grass. After Salwide, the path leads through raised bog mountain pine forests and mountain fat meadows up to Blattenegg, with repeated views opening to the impressive Schratenflue. On the way back to Rossweid lies the moor educational trail "Mooraculum," which is also offered as a separate short route from Rossweid, especially suitable for families with children.
