Smaragdweg - emerald trail

The emerald trial (="Smaragdweg") is very interesting for the whole family. You enjoy the beautiful nature, get information about the minerals and the kids discover a new world:
There are several stages to play and have fun.

This trip is very easy to find, because it starts in front of the hotel Habachklause and you go along the Habach creek.
