Make sure you're allowed to enter the moor! In winter, it's a wildlife sanctuary :)

Particularly recommended in foggy "bad" weather because of the moor atmosphere. The lovingly laid out wooden paths are still safe to walk on.

Schinderbach / Rosengartenschlucht In the middle of Imst is the entrance to one of the most beautiful gorges in Austria and one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol. The Schinderbach roars through the 2 km long Rosengarten gorge - a spectacle that can be observed from the path that leads through the gorge. The Rosengartenschlucht is highly valued as one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol. It is also a treasure trove, especially for geologists, as millions of years of earth's history are reflected here. The Rosengartenschlucht begins at the Johanneskirche right in the city center of Imst. The gorge, which is bordered by a 100 m high rock wall, becomes increasingly narrower and leads to the Blue Grotto, a small cave in which silver-containing galena was searched for as early as Roman times. From the Blue Grotto you then reach Hoch-Imst and can either hike back to Imst via the Wetterkreuz or continue your tour with the Imster Bergbahnen and the Alpine Coaster Imst.

Schinderbach / Rosengarten Gorge In the heart of Imst lies the entrance to one of Austria's most beautiful gorges and one of Tyrol's most valuable biotopes. The Schinderbach stream roars through the 2 km long Rosengarten Gorge – a spectacle that can be observed from the trail leading through the gorge. The Rosengarten Gorge is highly valued as one of Tyrol's most valuable biotopes. It is also a treasure trove, especially for geologists, as millions of years of geological history are reflected here. The Rosengarten Gorge begins near St. John's Church, right in the center of Imst. The gorge, bordered by a roughly 100 m high rock face, narrows as it continues, leading to the Blue Grotto, a small cave where silver-bearing galena was mined as early as Roman times. From the Blue Grotto, you can then reach Hoch-Imst and either hike back to Imst via the Wetterkreuz or continue your tour with the Imst cable cars and the Alpine Coaster Imst.
