Track to Nature: Gorge Track
Jurapark Aargau - A circular hike in Hellikon with exciting information about flora and fauna.
On 4 varied circular routes with 41 information boards, you can discover natural gems and landscape jewels around Hellikon.
The "Gorge Trail" route leads for almost 8 km past various information boards about flora and fauna. Along the way, you will admire, among other things, the "Löör" nature reserve and the Helliker Löcher.
For several decades, the members of the Hellikon Nature Conservation Association have been maintaining and developing various habitats of the native fauna and flora. Over 40 locations have thus developed into remarkable treasures over time, with more added each year. Not only the trained eye should be able to enjoy this, but the association also aims to sharpen the view and knowledge of interested laypeople. For this purpose, a representative selection of locations has been equipped with information boards and grouped into several circular routes.
