    Numerous native animals accompany this playfully designed walk along the Alvier.

    Goats, pigs, chickens and other native animals can be observed here at close quarters along the approx. 1 km long circular path along the Alvier stream. An animal experience for families! Kids can watch the goats climb, cluck with the chickens or watch the sheep eat. An open stable area is also integrated into the pathway to provide insights into everyday farm life. Insects have also found a place in the insect hotel.

    Along the path there is a playground with riding horses, a slide and much more. In summer, the natural bathing lake “Alvierbad” also beckons, where you can refresh yourself in the cool water after the hike! Resting places invite you to linger and enjoy the incomparable view. And who knows, maybe someone will guess where the sheep might find the tastiest grasses!

    The path is illuminated at night – so you can also visit our animals in the evening after an exciting day!

    The animal adventure trail is suitable for prams (all-terrain vehicles) and open all year round. In summer the animals are in the outdoor enclosures, in winter the animals are in the winter quarters where you can also observe the animals.

    In summer, the animal adventure trail can be easily combined with a visit to the Brandnertal climbing park or the Alvierbad swimming pool.
