Giant Forest

The GIANT FOREST activity trail –  developed in co-operation with Switzerland Tourism – tells 5 stories about the legend of Martin's Hole, a regional theme closely related to the UNESCO World Heritage Sardona.

Our small guests are guided through 17 exciting, individually-designed stations. There are also inviting spots for grilling and chilling out. The GIANT FOREST trail stimulates motor skills, the senses and awareness of nature. It’s also a wealth of information on the UNESCO Swiss Tectonic Area Sardona.

Become an explorer with your little ones and set off on a search for Martin, the legendary giant at Ämpächli in Elm!
