Quiet forests, Totmoos biotope & Wolfsgrube: a peaceful circular hike in Obergummer with panorama and picnic spots in the midst of nature.
This circular hike in Obergummer in the municipality of Karneid takes you through quiet forests, over gentle hills, and past two special places: the natural monument Totmoos, an idyllic biotope with water lilies, and the historic Wolfsgrube, one of the last wolf pits of the region – a place with history in the midst of greenery.

At the Totmoos biotope, seating invites you to a relaxing break – ideal for a picnic in the middle of nature. For those who prefer a cozier atmosphere, a covered seating and table area can be found at the nearby unmanaged forester’s hut – perfect for a short rest.

Again and again, the view opens to the Rosengarten massif, the Schlern, and the Tierser Tal – a panoramic route that combines nature enjoyment and quiet moments. Ideal for those who prefer things a bit quieter.

Please note: There are no refreshment options along the entire circular hike. In the summer months, however, you have the option to make a detour to the Hagneralm and refresh yourself there.
Path from Wolfsgrube to Hagneralm: 2.5 km, approx. 40 minutes walking time
