Hint

Intro

A must for romantics: The Laternliweg (Lantern Trail) in the Schwägalp nature discovery park leads through a snowy fairy-tale landscape. Over 50 lanterns light the way through the sparkling winter wonderland for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Description

The nature discovery park on the Schwägalp is set in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the Lake Constance region. It brings together tourism, research and nature conservation and provides a habitat for numerous alpine plants and animals.

In winter, the protected moorland landscape shows its romantic side: After dusk, countless oil lamps twinkle brightly. Reflected in the dazzling snow, the lights create a unique atmosphere on the wide and well-prepared Lantern Trail. A walk through the snow-covered forest takes about 40 minutes and is suitable for both young and old. Only the last few metres are somewhat steeper as the trail leads downhill.

On colder days, hikers can warm up with a hot punch along the way or finish their tour with a cosy meal of fondue or raclette.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
