Hello kids
I am MoosAlbi a curious forest dwarf and live here in the Moosalpregion.
I live in the forest, I know every stone and plant and I have many friends in the Moosal region. I love to play tag and hide and seek with the foxes and squirrels, but I also know the cows and black-nosed sheep very well. I would love to show you what you can experience here in the Moosalpregion. If you look carefully, you can meet me and my friends in many places in the Moosalpregion.
Come to the Moosalpregion and let's have fun. I am looking forward to seeing you.
SQUIRRELWAY
On the approx. 500m long stretch of the squirrel trail you will learn a lot of interesting facts about the species and way of life of the rodent, as well as about other forest animals that can be found in our region. The squirrel trail was built in 2003 and is part of a circular trail with a length of about 3.5 km, which goes from the Info Center in the direction of Hellela. The path leads through idyllic woods and is also very suitable for families. It can also be walked with a stroller without any problems, as it is very wide and well prepared. And with a little luck, you can even see a real squirrel on a tree.
Route:
You start at the Info Center in Bürchen and run directly below Sport Zenhäusern relatively flat in the direction of Zentriegen. Past the farm, the road leads you in the middle of beautiful mountain meadows directly to the start of the squirrel trail. This approx. 500m long track is very well developed and goes slightly downhill. At the end of the path you come directly to the beautiful plain of the middle Hellela. You walk across this special area and either take the tarred road at the end of the Hellela or you turn already in the middle of the Hellela on a very narrow and steep (not stroller friendly) path towards the upper Hellela. The upper Hellela brings you on the right side via group house Bethania and district Blatt back to the Info Center in Bürchen.
Dates of the hike:
Length: 7.5 km
Ascent: 150 meters
Descent: 150 meters
Highest point: 1,610 m.a.s.l.
Lowest point: 1,480 m.a.s.l.
Walking time: 2 hours
BIRCH NATURE TRAIL
The nature trail leads you through the different hamlets of the Birkendorf Bürchen. On 10 boards you will learn interesting and interesting facts about the birch tree, which gave the village of Bürchen its name. The locations of the boards have been chosen in such a way that you can look at the information notes directly on the tree or on a group of birch trees, depending on the season and the topic. The nature trail should bring you closer to our "house tree", the birch, and lead you through the different hamlets of Bürchen. The birch nature trail is laid out in such a way that you can start and end the circular walk at any of the 10 panels. The round hike takes about 2 hours.
