Trail to Nature: Tree Trail

Theme trailHiking trail
Time required: 42 minutesLength: 2.53 km

Jurapark Aargau - An entertaining circular hike in Hellikon with fascinating information about trees.

On 4 varied circular routes with 41 information boards, natural gems and landscape jewels around Hellikon can be discovered.

The "Tree Trail" route leads 2.5 km past 8 different information boards on the topic of trees.

For several decades, the members of the Hellikon Nature Conservation Association have been caring for and developing various habitats of the local fauna and flora. Over 40 locations have thus become scenic small treasures over time, with more added every year. Not only the practiced eye should enjoy them, but it is also the association's concern to sharpen the views and knowledge of interested laypeople. For this purpose, a representative selection of locations has been equipped with information boards and combined into several circular routes.
