    The mountain plants are exposed to the extreme living conditions in the alpine mountain world. In higher altitudes, summer is very short and the plants have little time to bloom. On the newly created mountain flower educational trails at Gerschnialp and Trübsee, visitors learn about various types of mountain flowers and their living conditions in an easy way. Surrounded by an impressive alpine mountain and glacier world, hikers can inform themselves about the mountain flowers settled here by means of yellow panels.

    Author’s recommendation

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