Adventure Route Marbach

Theme trail
Time required: 1 hourLength: 3.81 km

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch -

Open
On the approximately two-hour adventure route through nature, young and old experience the story of the three birds Mar, Sol, and Lou and listen to the legendary chirping.

On the two-hour adventure route in wonderful nature along the Schonbach, time flies by while solving puzzles and discovering at 20 interactive stations. Starting with themes such as envy, boasting, fear, and homesickness, it becomes clear during the story that understanding, helpfulness, and consideration are much more important for a good friendship. It tells the story of Sol, the wagtail, Lou, the sparrow lady, and Mar, a barn swallow, who, after a bumpy introduction, become close friends and experience various adventures together.

The starting point is at the Bergkäserei Marbach, where both the start documents and the adventure box with necessary utensils (a marble, a mini flashlight, and a water flute) can be purchased. However, the adventure route can also be walked without equipment. Along the way, you repeatedly encounter well-marked experience stations. The grill area "Stäckis" invites you to an extended picnic.

At the destination, the Arche-Hof in Schangnau, many interesting and rare animals can be observed, and you learn a lot about the ProSpecieRara animals. The farm shop also sells homemade products from ProSpecieRara animals and plants.

Opening hours
The Marbach adventure route is open from May 11, 2025, until the end of October 2025.

Offers
Adventure equipment for CHF 12 (clay chirping bird, pocket flashlight, and marble in a Kitchener or snack box) and the picture book "Legendary Chirping" by author Gaby Kaufmann for CHF 19 can be purchased in the shop or at the self-service machine of Bergkäserei Marbach. Both are not mandatory but highly recommended, especially when the route is walked with children.
