This snowshoe hike leads into the quiet and secluded nature of the Totmoos biotope. In this protected moorland, numerous water lilies decorate the pond in summer and are covered by snow and ice in winter. The protected area also provides a home for many forest inhabitants. The path runs along gentle climbs and leads through silent forests, offering a perfect retreat from everyday life. Along the way, there are repeated views of the surrounding Dolomite mountains and the Eggental valley.
