The snowshoe hike leads to the tranquil Totmoos biotope, passing through gentle ascents and quiet forests, with views of the Dolomites and the valley.

This snowshoe hike leads into the tranquil and secluded nature of the Totmoos biotope. In this protected moorland, numerous water lilies can be found in summer, which are decorating the pond and are covered in snow and ice in winter. The nature reserve also provides a home for many forest inhabitants. The path follows gentle ascents and passes through quiet forests, providing a perfect retreat from everyday life. Along the way, you are repeatedly rewarded with views of the surrounding Dolomite mountains and the Eggental Valley.
