Tour description

Nature explorers watch out! Our marmot friends Burmi and Burmina are going on a discovery tour in Kleinwalsertal.

The two want to thoroughly explore and investigate nature and its inhabitants - of course, this is only possible with appropriate research expeditions.

A research book with tricky tasks accompanies them on the theme trail.

Information columns and an exciting radio play provide helpful information for solving the research tasks.

The nature explorer adventure "Schwarzwasserbach" playfully conveys information and secrets about the Schwarzwasserbach. In half a day, many things can be explored on the 3 km long tour. Now it's time to pick up your explorer set (€ 8,- per family) at the tourist office in Hirschegg and off you go!

Route description

The start of the nature explorer adventure is only about 100 meters from the Schröfle-Säge bus stop. You can reach station 1 via Schwarzwassertalstraße in just a few steps. The other stations can be found along the Schwarzwasserbach stream. In addition, an exciting radio play provides you with valuable information about each station and guides you through the naturalist adventure. From the Kesselschwand nature discovery site, you can return by taking the short bus ride up to Riezlern-Egg (bus line 2).

Tip: From Hirschegg you can also reach station 1 with the Heubergbahn. The train takes you comfortably to the mountain station. From the mountain station, walk down to Schöntalhof, turn left there into the small path and continue downhill to Schwarzwassertalstraße and walk to Station 1 near the Schröflesäge bus stop (in about 25 minutes from the Heubergbahn mountain station).
