    Safety information

    Strollers: The DenkSchlaufe is well passable with all-terrain strollers, the AchtsamkeitsSchlaufe only partially: The AchtsamkeitsSchlaufe has a 200-meter-long steep ascent on a zig-zag hiking trail, which is not stroller-friendly uphill. 

    Tips and suggestions

    Art on the tree

    Along the paths, students of the Kantonsschule Glarus have designed, created and installed small and large artwork under the project title “Art on the Tree”. Those who discover all installations can participate in the DenkWeg competition and win attractive prizes several times a year.
