Bogs cover the ground like a blanket and adapt to the terrain. This special type of raised bog is extremely rare and occurs just five times in the whole of Austria. Two of these five moors are the Große and Kleine Löckenmoos in Gosau.

Unique flora and dreamlike surroundings

Only perfectly adapted plants can survive in such extreme locations. The Große Löckenmoos on the top of the Löckenmoosberg and its smaller twin on a lower ridge are largely covered in mountain pines.

In the middle of the Großer Löckenmoos lies the Löckensee, like an eye. As moorland water , the lake is brown in color, the bottom is not visible and so the Löckensee is said to be bottomless, even though it is actually only 1.5 to 2 meters deep.

The moor and the lake are accessible via a hiking trail on wooden footbridges and offer a magnificent view of the Gosaukamm.

Experience a 360° panoramic tour through the Gosau valley...
