Leckenmoos

This moor in the municipality of Bad Ischl in the Salzkammergut is named after the local dialect term for the mountain pine. Lecken or Löcken is the name given to the dwarf growth form of the pine here. And it is precisely these plants that dominate the outward appearance of the Leckenmoos.

The arched high moor is covered in mountain pines, which give the archaic and primeval landscape its typical character. In the wider surroundings, the Leckenmoos is embedded in a mountain and alpine landscape that is well developed for hikers. If you set off from Bad Ischl to the Hoisnradalm, for example, you can also take a detour to the Leckenmoos to get to know and discover this unique natural jewel.
