Totes Gebirge mountain range

An amazing number of medicinal herbs and edible plants can be found on the vast plateau. But be careful! Right next to the edible ones there are often highly poisonous plants.

And in any case, whoever messes with nature here has to reckon with the revenge of the Oimranzln ;-). These are alpine spirits, similar to the Kasamandln, who are said to have played many a trick on nature looters. Caution is advised especially in fog, which sometimes falls here almost abruptly.

But even otherwise, leaving the marked path can be quite dangerous. The Tote Gebirge is a karstic land, crisscrossed by abyssal gorges and more than 600 caves.
