Family and theme route Gäggersteg
Naturpark Gantrisch - The family route is an easy circular hike that leads over the Gägger footbridge, which is up to eight meters high. The accompanying story "The Wild Türst – the stormy game at the Gägger" takes you and your parents along eight stations.
It roars and laughs and moans and crashes when Türst and his goats romp through the forest at the Gägger. Experience together with Türst how the wind destroyed the forest, how the trees grow, what roots look like from below, and discover the animals in the forest.
The family route is an easy circular hike that leads over the Gägger footbridge, which is up to eight meters high. An experience with play, fun, & learning. The accompanying story "The Wild Türst – the stormy game at the Gägger" takes you and your parents along eight stations through the wild nature. Along the way, you collect eight runes that form a solution word. If you know it, a reward awaits you. You can pick up the reward at the Selital mountain hut, the Schwarzenbühl spa hotel, the Gurnigel mountain house, or the Löwen Riffenmatt. If these places are closed, feel free to contact us by email at info@gantrisch.ch or by phone at 031 808 00 20 – we will gladly send you the surprise. Good luck! On the circular route, you will find many nice picnic spots, but no fire pits. Open grilling is strictly prohibited in the forest reserve.
Learn at eight experience and theme stations how four century storms shaped the forests in the Gurnigel area. How the forest and nature recovered from the damage and even benefited from it. How people from the Gantrisch region seized the opportunity and made the best out of the destruction.
