Treetop path in Switzerland

Switzerland's first treetop path did open on 10 May. The wooden course goes over a length of 500 metres on a hill near Mogelsberg SG (east side of Switzerland).

The focus is on species protection and the conscious transfer of knowledge in a forest oasis. The walk in lofty heights was built with about 4000 wooden planks - from the forest floor to the treetop. The project, which is supported by the Jubilee Fund of the St. Galler Kantonalbank, costs a total of CHF 3.8 million.

The central attraction is a wooden construction that leads around 20 metres above the ground through the "Steinwäldli" near Mogelsberg.

30,000 visitors expected per year

The diverse nature can thus be observed at close range and from different angles. At the same time, the path offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Necker Valley, Appenzellerland and Fürstenland from several platforms.

The treetop trail is to be supplemented by an adventure trail with further family-friendly attractions and activities. Catering, experience and information facilities are planned. The Baumwipfelpfad Neckertal cooperative expects around 30,000 visitors per year.
