Important info / closure of hiking & bike path: The Balmoos in Hasle is a raised bog of national importance and habitat for rare animal and plant species. Peat extraction and drainage have dried out the bog, so that it is now threatened in its important functions as a habitat and CO2 reservoir. Now water retention is being improved with structural measures. During construction work until the end of October 2025, the hiking trail is closed on weekdays during working hours.
