Baumwipfelpfad Neckertal, Canopy walkway in Mogelsberg, Switzerland.
Description
Baumwipfelpfad Neckertal is a wooden walkway that stretches several hundred meters through the tree canopy at 845 meters elevation. The structure guides visitors through the Neckertal forest with changing heights and viewpoints over the surrounding woodland.
History
The path was built with special environmental protection measures to preserve the natural forest while allowing visitor access. This approach shows how modern infrastructure can work together with forest conservation.
Culture
The signs along the path explain how local people manage and use the forest around them. You see information about how Swiss communities work with woodlands as part of their daily life.
Practical
The path is reachable by train via the S2 and S4 lines to Mogelsberg station, followed by a walk of about 30 minutes. Good footwear is important because the wooden surface can be slippery in wet weather and the path has some elevation changes.
Did you know?
Along the path there are four colorful hedgehog figures to spot as part of a hide-and-seek game called 'Where is Milo hiding'. This little treasure hunt makes the walk more fun for visitors of all ages.
