    The mountain plants are exposed to the extreme living conditions in the alpine mountain world. At higher altitudes, the summer is very short and the plants have little time to bloom. On the mountain flower educational trails created at Gerschnialp and Trübsee, visitors learn in an uncomplicated way about various mountain flower species and their living conditions. Surrounded by an impressive alpine mountain and glacier world, the hiker can learn about the mountain flowers settled here using yellow panels.

    Author’s recommendation

    On each flower panel you will find a 9-digit number key. An information sheet with the meaning of the codes can be found in the flyer "Code Key".
