“FROM AN OCEAN TO A MOUNTAIN” GEO LEARNING TRAIL ON THE DOBRATSCH

Would you like to appreciate the beauty and surprising features of both nature and the Dobratsch Nature Park in a truly unrestricted and accessible way?
Then the Geo Learning Trail is just the job! At approx. 1732 m above sea level, at the so-called Rosstratte, which is also the start of the hiking path up to the summit, a top-class barrier-free learning trail has been created. Along it visitors can find out about, view and touch the different types of rock to be found in the Dobratsch Nature Park. A series of display boards provide information about the various deposits. And at the end there is a seating area for groups to rest awhile.

You can get there in the barrier-free Nature Park bus or drive to the starting point of the Geo Learning Trail yourself.
More information on the trail can be found here.
