A sensory journey through fauna and flora. On the sensory path, little sniffers discover how animals see, smell, taste, and orient themselves.

Let yourself be enchanted by loud and soft sounds, smell the scents of nature, experience your sense of balance while balancing on the suspension bridge, or feel the temperature of different materials. Expand your knowledge about the special abilities of animals: How many stanzas does the nightingale's song have, which sense helps the barn owl in hunting, how large is the field of vision of deer, or how do reptiles regulate their body temperature? On the sensory path, children learn about the special abilities of animals and can try out at various stations how forest and meadow inhabitants see, hear, touch, and feel. So: perk up your ears and open your eyes, it will be exciting!

The walking time on the Naturena sensory path is around one hour, excluding playtime and breaks. There are three barbecue spots and the alpine restaurant St. Jost available for catering on the path.
