    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 flower. On the newly created mountain flower nature trails on Gerschnialp and Trübsee the visitor gets to know different mountain flower species and their living conditions in an uncomplicated way. Surrounded by an impressive alpine mountain and glacier world, the hiker can inform himself about the mountain flowers that have settled here by means of yellow boards.
