Naturpark Diemtigtal - The theme trail on Grimmialp is dedicated to probably the most famous guest from Diemtigtal. Schweitzer's stays on Grimmialp between 1901 and 1909 had a strong influence on his ethic of "reverence for life".
How much Albert Schweitzer is in you and how do you implement his mindful attitude towards fellow human beings in everyday life?
During his holiday stays on Grimmialp, Albert Schweitzer went for walks and appreciated the peace and idyll in the Diemtigtal.
The five-kilometre circular trail dedicated to him leads from the Hotel Kurhaus Grimmialp along alpine pastures to the mystical Blauseeli, through the cool mountain forest and the village of Schwenden back to the Kurhaus. Resting benches and quotes by Albert Schweitzer help to recharge your batteries.
Since June 2019, you can also experience the circular trail with enhanced and virtual reality. The app with its animated graphics, audio and video contributions and active game elements opens up the rich facets of Albert Schweitzer's life for young and old, individual visitors and school classes.
Explanations on the panels and in the app are only available in German.
Download the app "Naturpark Diemtigtal" from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
The highlight for the family in summer is the Grimmimutz adventure trail. A circular walking trail with many playing posts has arisen from the children's story by Peter Zahnd about the forest dweller Grimmimutz and the wicked pepper witch.
The little mountain lake with an underground inlet lies at the end of the Diemtigtal valley walk. Seating benches and a special "reading bench" are ideal for some quiet and relaxing hours.
The Grimmialp ski area in Schwenden, at the back of the Diemtigtal, is tailored entirely to the family.
The cosy hotel is located at 1200 m under the valley station of the Grimmialp cable railways and close to the Grimmimutz Adventure Trail. Spacious rooms and a good value cuisine.
