Gmöser Moor, Nature reserve and spa town in Laakirchen, Austria.

The Gmöser Moor spans 3.4 hectares of protected wetland, featuring carr forests dominated by bog birch trees and European heather at 464 meters elevation.

The spa establishment originated in 1907 when Johann Vizithum, a local farmer, discovered the therapeutic properties of walking barefoot in the bog for arthritis relief.

The facility maintains traditional European therapy methods, combining natural peat treatments with physiotherapy and specialized rehabilitation programs throughout the year.

The guest house provides accommodation for 16 visitors, offering comprehensive services including mud baths, peat-packs, massages, and specialized musculoskeletal treatments.

The habitat formed on a moraine from the Mindel glaciation serves as a refuge for endangered species including yellow-bellied toads and various nesting birds.
