This short but varied hike leads to one of the most romantic places in the region - the Bärenmoos. The route runs partly on asphalt roads, but mostly on forest paths and narrow trails. There are impressive viewpoints along the way, such as the Dachstein view and the Hofmannsthal lime tree, as well as special places of power in the midst of nature. Another highlight is the garden designed by Sepp Holzer around the “Oase” vacation complex.
The starting point of the hike is in Bad Aussee. From here, a narrow staircase path, the Himmelsleiter, leads up the slope to Obertressen. You then follow the asphalt road to the crossroads above the Oase - a vacation resort for families with disabilities.
Continue along Sigmund-Freud-Straße to the Dachsteinblick viewpoint. Here, at a bench with a wayside shrine, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Dachstein glacier.
At this point, the path turns right and leads up into the forest. After a gentle ascent, you reach the Bärenmoos in a bend to the right - an idyllic place that radiates peace and strength. Take a break at the hut there to enjoy the natural surroundings.
A narrow forest path circles the Bärenmoos plain and finally leads to the next vantage point - the Hofmannsthal lime tree. The descent is via a gravel road, past several houses, to the end point of the hike - Café Berta. From here, the way back to the town of Bad Aussee is easy to find.
