Moor & More

The Wilder Kaiser family region is richly endowed with natural treasures and unique natural theatres. And thus from summer 2007, in the area between Going and St. Johann, an almost forgotten natural oasis has been awakened from its enchanted sleep.

 

Surrounding the Römerhof Inn there are moorland areas of varying sizes with flora and fauna unique in Europe. These were used in the past for agricultural purposes, then replanted and are now becoming naturalised again in a cross-border, interregional project in cooperation with the Austrian Forestry Commission.

 

In addition the already existing forest trails and footpaths have been improved and linked together in a nature-friendly manner and there is easy access for children’s buggies and people with limited mobility. It is now possible to get immediate access to this natural idyll from Going am Wilden Kaiser and also from St. Johann in Tirol. Notice boards provide visitors with explanations of the beauties of the moor landscape and, so that you can derive even greater enjoyment of the views across the moors and the surrounding area, various observation platforms, as for example at Hüttelmoos, have been built.

 

For families a forest experience playground and an open-air class room have been established near the Römerhof. And further projects to enhance this unique landscape are already at the planning stage.
