Very coveted space, but almost always occupied. A little further there is a picnic area, which is also very nice.

Information board of the Georgenfelder Hochmoor renaturation project

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice short path through the raised moor. There are some small flower signs or information boards, there is not too much reading but you learn something about the raised moor

Snow Depth Fence

Highlight • Monument

Here you can see how high the snow has been in recent years. Right on the border with the Czech Republic, the ski highway on Czech territory is not far away.

The view of the mountains is a great vantage point. Thanks to the height, you can see several mountains at the same time...

One last mini tour before the foot orthosis, followed by at least four weeks of compulsory break 😑

Easy hikes are possible again, so we decided to go to the raised moor at Lugstein.

July 3, 2025,Auf dem Holzweg durch's Georgenfelder Hochmoor

It was a combination of a motorcycle tour and a desired destination on foot. The Georgenfelder Hochmoor had been on my list for a long time.
However, I had foolishly trusted the fairly dry weather forecast. Otherwise, I would have preferred to arrive by car. I parked the motorcycle in the parking lot, and the rain showers began. It remained …
