The shortest Zappelpfad route may be small, but it packs a punch—perfect for little explorers with a big appetite for adventure! Immerse yourself in Grächen’s plant life at the playground near the rectory. Use fun memory cards to playfully train your memory—who can remember the most pairs of native plants? At the Drehstein play station, skill and team spirit are key! Balance like little circus stars or test your accuracy—collect pinecones and start your own pinecone-throwing challenge. Who can hit the right hole? Test your knowledge with the rock quiz and see who can amaze the most. Time for a break? Perfect! At the cozy picnic and barbecue area, you can refuel, take a deep breath, and enjoy the fresh forest air. Exciting forest dwellers are hiding at the “Animals in the Larch Forest” play station.
