    From the mountain station of the Tafamunt cable car, the hike leads through beautiful raised bog landscapes to Lake Wiegensee. One of the last raised bog lakes in the Alps. In the midst of sphagnum-rich dwarf pine bog forests and hillside flat bogs, Lake Wiegensee forms the centerpiece of the area.

  • Directions

    From the mountain station of the Tafamunt cable car, the path initially leads steadily uphill through the forest toward Lake Wiegensee. The last stretch of the path before you reach Lake Wiegensee is above the tree line. Once at Lake Wiegensee, it is worth taking a break and enjoying the magnificent panorama. Then continue on the same path back to the mountain station of the Tafamunt cable car.
