The Untertal is located in the Rohrmoos district and is a popular hiking and excursion destination for nature lovers, hikers and families. Rohrmoos-Untertal offers a variety of ways to enjoy a stay: trails along the water, a moorland, viewpoints and insights into the region’s flora and fauna. If you’re looking for hotels in Rohrmoos-Untertal, it may help to first consider which of these experiences you want to shape your trip.
Trails, Water and a Choice of Routes
The Wilde Wasser themed trail is divided into six stages and follows the Talbach through varied natural landscapes in the Untertal. Several access points let you explore it in sections. The stages and access points give you flexibility when choosing: you can tackle individual sections rather than planning the themed trail as one indivisible route.
The “Durch die Höll” alpine trail runs along the Riesach Waterfall to Lake Riesach. The waterfall plunges into the valley in two cascades, for a total drop of 140 metres. The two options differ in specific ways: Wilde Wasser focuses on its six stages and exploring the route in sections, while Lake Riesach is the named destination on the alpine trail.
The Rohrmoos Circuit is a route for beginners and leads through the landscapes of Schladming, Obertal, Rohrmoos and Pichl without any major ascents. As route suitability can be affected by temporary conditions, check the current situation before setting out. In winter, the winter hiking trails in Rohrmoos are groomed and smoothed with a roller.
Moorland and Nature Insights
The Tettermoor is a flow-through bog in Rohrmooser Untertal. Many rare plant species adapted to low-silicate and low-lime conditions grow in and around the bog. This gives nature enthusiasts a distinctive botanical focus alongside the landscape itself. You can also walk barefoot for a few steps along the meandering Untertalbach in the Tettermoor.
Those who want to learn more about local nature can find information boards about regional flora and fauna along the RoĂźfeld nature trail. On the same trail, you can admire a 1,000-year-old stone pine. Along the Bankerlweg, hand-carved, life-size animal sculptures offer a different way to learn about local wildlife.
The viewpoints also offer different perspectives. The Sonnenrunde Rohrmoos provides views of Schladming, the Obere Klaus district, Pichl and the Dachstein massif. Johannahöhe offers a romantic view into the Obertal.
More Experiences in the Region
In summer, Mountain Go-Karts are available on Hochwurzen on a 7-kilometre-long toboggan run. This adds a distinct toboggan-run experience to the nature and hiking activities. The historic ruins of a nickel smelting furnace have been restored and turned into a small museum with a walk-in glass display case, unique in Central Europe.
