Swiss Wrestling trail Springenboden

Naturpark Diemtigtal - Look forward to the Swiss wrestling trail with a new look: on 21 June 2026, the themed trail will be officially opened. The popular themed trail in the home of Swiss wrestling champion Wenger Kilian is being digitised and integrated into the ‘Diemtigtal’ app with a wealth of new content. Swiss wrestling, a living Swiss tradition, will be brought to life in a contemporary and interactive way. For younger wrestling fans, there is a new children’s puzzle. At each stop, sporting activities will be incorporated that reflect typical elements of training and encourage not just children to join in. In this way, the digital Schwingen trail uniquely combines learning, exercise and fun. Information about the trail is provided in German and local dialect only.

As you explore the home of Wenger Kilian, you’ll learn more about this popular national sport, which has managed to preserve its rustic roots. Schwingen is good for you; it builds strength and resilience. Swiss wrestling embodies camaraderie and down-to-earth values. The people of the Diemtigtal have known this for a long time, which is why it has been an active part of their culture for generations. What’s more, the three Swiss wrestling kings from the Diemtigtal naturally make us very proud – do you know who they are?

Information boards along the route give you an insight into the world of Swiss wrestling and teach you what it takes to become a Swiss wrestling king. The individual stops focus on topics such as young Swiss wrestlers, fitness, technique, mental strength, women in Swiss wrestling and sponsorship. A QR code takes you to further interactive content featuring interviews, animations and games (all information only in German / local dialect).

At the end of the circular walk, in the Pavilion of the Swiss wrestling kings, you’ll find several portraits, watch the final bouts of the last Swiss National Wrestling Festivals on screen, and admire the lifelike wooden bull ‘Arnold’ and our Swiss wrestling king himself in life-size form.
