Observation of beavers in their natural habitat
Exciting information from a Swiss Ranger
The active beavers in the Giessenpark near Bad Ragaz are awake when most people are asleep, which is why the beaver tours begin in the evening. A Swiss Ranger leads the way to where the beavers are at work. Beavers are excellent builders and can build impressive dams out of twigs, sticks and mud to dam up rivers and streams and shape their habitats. With a bit of luck, you can watch the beavers at work or foraging for food.
