Autumn morning in the Seebachtal valley

When the first rays of sunshine gild the peaks, the dew glistens on the meadows and the valley is still quiet, this autumnal morning hike into the Seebachtal valley begins.
The nature discovery trail leads along a gentle path through the species-rich forest of the Seebachtal valley, over roots and damp forest floor. Mosses, mushrooms and autumnal herbs line the path and tell of the time of year when nature comes to rest. With binoculars and a spotting scope, you can look down the mountain slopes - perhaps you will spot chamois or an eagle. And sometimes the wind carries the roaring of the deer through the valley - a sound that makes autumn unmistakable.

When: every Saturday in October 2025
