Joakim, I had to walk 2,5 hours and there are many orchids of most orchids (from Bad Goisern or Gosau up to the mountain). Coeloclossum viride and Pseudorchis albida are not so often seen.
There are many Nigritella rhellicani, Gymnadenia conopsea (white forms, too), Epipactis atrorubens, palustris (no photo), helleborine, Dactylorhiza fuchsii, Orchis ustulata, some hybrids,...and many alpine plants like Primula auricula, clusiana, Campanula barbata, Lilium martagon, different Campanulas, Gentiana clusii, verna, pannonica and other Gentianas (see photo),......
