    This surfaces along this route vary from gravel to forest and dirt trails. Five stations invite hikers to activate their senses.

    Goat farming was an essential part of everyday living culture in Bezau for many centuries. The hike commemorates this cultural heritage and is not only historically and naturally informative, but also very scenic. Five stations have been set up for children to touch, see, listen and feel as well as puzzle and climb over.

    Tip: Benches invite hikers to take a break and stations invite kids to play on along the Geißerweg (e.g. playground at Oberberg).
