TUX Welten - New since Summer 2016

Experience new worlds

The new fascinating themed routes guide visiting adventurers, young and old alike, from eternal ice across soft mountain pastures to the sweet valley of the Tuxbach. In character with the pastures and the moors, the water, the animals and the glacier, here visitors can experience and explore nature up close with all the senses. Our glacier floh, Luis, will of course be accompanying us on this adventure. Welcome to the world of TUX.

Comprehend and understand ... Mother Nature has created extraordinary and unique habitat for all of us.

Starting point of the natural world is the middle station of the “Finkenberger Almbahnen”. From there many different habitats along the marsh trail are here to explore. The special moorland soil can be discovered and closely examined through an experiment. A short break in the hanging chairs or in the listening island, where the sounds of the environment can be perceived much more intensively and consciously, displaced children and adults in deep amazement. Shortly before the end of the walk the unique island of relaxation in the middle of the fairytale forest is achieved.

This walk is an unique experience for nature lovers!
