A sensory journey through fauna and flora. On the sensory trail, little noses discover how animals see, smell, taste and orientate themselves.

Be enchanted by loud and soft sounds, smell the scents of nature, experience your sense of balance while balancing over 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 on the hunt, how large is the visual field of deer or how do reptiles regulate their body temperature? On the sensory trail, children learn about the special abilities of animals and can try out for themselves at various stations how the forest and meadow dwellers see, hear, touch and feel. So: prick up your ears and open your eyes, it's going to be exciting!

The Naturena Sensory Trail takes about an hour to complete, not including playtime and breaks. There are three barbecue areas along the trail and the St. Jost Alpine inn for refreshments.
