    The reLAX Loop Trail in Lax opened in October 2025 and is all about peace, serenity, and consciously slowing down. Nestled in a stunning natural landscape, the trail offers you a space to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and recharge your batteries.

    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.

    Author’s recommendation

    Be sure to take your time at each stop—the loop trail truly reveals its peaceful magic, especially in the early morning or in the evening.
