During the 4 ½-hour hike, the Panoramic Trail spoils hikers with spectacular views onto the Stockhorn Range, the Napf as well as the Schwarzsee. The Nature Park also offers a wide range of routes for mountain bikers: from flat to steep, from side roads for beginners to action-packed single trails, along rivers or through various forest areas. The rope park in Längeney-Wald guarantees action in lofty heights.
