Tours in the Kaiser Mountains nature experience - on the trail of nature

Explore with all your senses

Far too rarely do we consciously use our senses – the nature reserve around Brentenjoch invites you to train all of them. You can touch, taste and listen. Our guides accompany you as you learn to look at familiar things in a new way. Amazement, surprise and lightbulb moments are a given.

Tracking in the Kaiser Mountains

Our guides teach you how to recognize the traces of well-hidden animals. There’s much more to discover than just tracks! Look closely and pay attention; your guide has a few aces up their sleeve that are guaranteed to amaze you.

On a treasure hunt in the Kaiser Mountains

Head off on an exciting treasure hunt in the Kaiser Mountains. Take off on an adventure with a GPS device or mobile phone app, find the right path and explore the nature reserve. Where is the treasure hidden? Can you find it?

The world of insects

What’s that crawling on the forest floor, and what’s buzzing around in the air? Get to know the wild bees, shimmering beetles and brightly coloured butterflies. Use natural materials to recreate the insects as you carefully examine them under a magnifying glass.

Forest as a source of power

Marvel at the wealth of species in our mixed forest with its many trees and shrubs. What does the life of a tree look like, how do trees feed themselves, what happens underground, how do they survive the winter? Learn to identify trees by their external characteristics, but also how their essence affects us. Find out why the forest is good for us and what 'forest bathing' and tree encounters are all about.

The world of geology

More than just stone: Experience the formation of the Alps and the Kaiser Mountains up close! Our geologist takes you on a fascinating journey of oceans that came and went, and to the continents of the past. He knows (almost) every rock in the Kaiser Mountains, and uses exciting experiments to teach you about the different types of stone in these mountains.

Fascinating orchids

Become a botanist for a few hours. Take your research material and search for a special treasure: native orchids. They range from small specimens to the aptly named “Kaiserin” (Empress). Learn more about orchids and examine them closely: How are they structured? What tricks so they have? How are they different from other flowers?

Natural balance

On this tour you enjoy the tranquillity and power of nature on a mindful hike with qigong and tai chi exercises.
