NAHTUR Herb and Bee Trail

Description:
About 100 years ago, due to a major bark beetle disaster in the Brunnbach valley, the so-called forest railway line was built, which served to transport 1 million solid cubic meters of wood. Until the beginning of the 1970s, the railroad was used to transport wood from the valley, after which it was discontinued for cost reasons. Over time, nature has reclaimed this route. The educational trail along this original route is intended to show that the forces of nature outlast man.The herbal nature trail is divided into 21 display panels, which are equipped with active elements that encourage participation and research. The front side of the boards shows the factual information about the respective plant and on the back side there are the active impulses for researching and trying out. In addition, online materials are made available to visitors with the help of QR codes.In terms of content, the nature trail deals with various topics from the world of bees and herbs. From seed dispersal, to the giants of prehistory, to the pollination of plants by the bee, everything can be experienced and explored. Visitors can expect magnifying glasses, measuring tapes, games and exciting research tasks. Embedded in the natural environment of the herb and bee world, you will find a nature laboratory that encourages discovery: trying things out is absolutely allowed.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Directions:
The herb trail runs over a distance of approx. 2.5 km mostly on the old forest railway line and on the public municipal road. The trail begins at the information hut of the Waldbahn (Brunnbachstadl), leads along the stream over a footbridge and crosses the road before the "Hoida Bridge". From there the nature trail continues along the left side of the brook on the land of the Scharnreithner family (alpine farmers) to the Waldburga bridge. At the Waldburgabrücke bridge, the nature trail turns around and runs along the municipal road back to the Brunnbachstadl.
