The "faszinaturRaum" provides an exciting insight into the wealth of flora and fauna in the Safiental - from the Rhine Gorge to the Safierberg.
In the renovated premises of the old schoolhouse in Valendas, the diversity of habitats from the Rhine Gorge to the Safierberg is presented.

As hostess, the exotic fountain mermaid from the wooden fountain on the village square takes visitors on a journey of discovery through the various habitats and provides insights into a fascinating diversity of species and an impressively beautiful cultural and natural landscape. The staged flora and fauna are fascinating and entice visitors to go outside and discover and explore nature in the Safiental and the Rhine Gorge.

Whether as inspiration before a hike or as an alternative on a rainy day - a visit is definitely worthwhile.
