This exciting adventure route for families and schools is about the forest spirit Lou, who is looking for a home.
Forest spirit Lou loses balance and falls from the back of an eagle into the middle of the Aarau forest. Now Lou needs a new home, but it’s quite hard to manage alone. Many adventures have to be overcome, and a new home must be well considered. For this, Lou needs help from the forest, the animals there, and you children.
The route leads over Haseberg to the Roggenhausen wildlife park and back via Friedenslinde, Pfadiheim, and Echolinde. Along this route, 14 stations with QR codes for an audio story are set up: it features a mythical creature that meets forest animals, accompanied by fitting illustrations. Additionally, game elements matching the story have been installed along the adventure path; the clubs collaborated with Naturama Aargau on this.
The detailed route description with the individual stations and the flyer can be found at the following link: Aarauer Waldabenteuer
