Forest Nature Trail

Forest Nature Trail

Season

All season

On the Forest Nature Trail you get to learn the secrets of the forest, and in a creative and imaginative way you come into contact from head to toe with the Sihlwald.

The forest adventure trail provides an insight into the secrets of the Sihlwald habitat and is a treat for the senses. The trail has 12 stations: counting tree rings, identifying trees, exploring natural soundscapes, observing, and discovering astonishing facts. Walk along a footbridge through the fairytale moorland forest, perceive dead wood as a source of life, find out how a tree drinks, compete with the animals in the long jump, or enjoy the special treat of walking barefoot along the barefoot path, and feeling the different surfaces underfoot. The forest adventure trail starts and ends at the intersection of Sihluferweg and Forststrasse. Immerse yourself with all your senses and leave the hustle and bustle behind!
