Easily accessible from the Lax train station, the loop trail takes you through several diverse reLAX stations. These invite you to experience nature with all your senses and to consciously pause.
A special highlight is the spectacular staircase winding around a rock, accompanied by the soothing murmur of the Rotten stream. Along the way, you’ll encounter a treehouse, a herb garden, inspiring “happiness boxes,” the sounds of the mandalophone, three wind objects, artworks by local artists, and much more.
The loop trail is fully open from April through mid-December. Part of it remains accessible in winter, while other sections are protected as wildlife quiet zones.
