Kids on Tour - A real mountain hike

This walk in the spectacularly beautiful Trôs-Marêts valley is an absolute highlight for children (and not just for them!). Because what do little explorers really want? Adventures! Here they can try a bit of rock-climbing – and test the limits of their daring. They can jump over giant tree-roots and splash about in water. This circular tour is also a wonderful way to bring our young explorers into close contact with river- and forest-life. And an animal surprise awaits them at the very end of the trail: a herd of wild boars lives in a fenced-off area a short distance from the path. In spring, the sows (female wild boars) can be seen tending to their families of little piglets.

The first part of the route takes you through coniferous forest. As you descend into the valley, the sound of the rushing torrent becomes ever louder. The path starts out stony, but increasingly becomes laced with tree roots. Rocks rise up to make their mark on the landscape. Down in the valley, a bridge spans the fast-flowing river, which branches off into several small waterfalls. On the other side of the bridge, you have to do a bit of climbing. The steel cables anchored to the rock offer you support on the sometimes slippery stones. Where the path follows the river, it rises more gently uphill. The final section leads you back through the forest, under tall trees and past lush green meadows.
