Schnackler adventure trail

If you are out and about with children we have a few great tips for you. In Kaiserbach valley there is something for children and the young at heart to enjoy. Directly after the Alpine Outdoor Gallery, which starts at the car park for the toll point, the Schnackler adventure trail begins at the Fischbachalm. This second area, specifically set up for younger visitors to Kaiserbach valley outlines the history of the "Schnackler" and the "Koasabacha" on several stations.

Kirchdorf children's author Bettina Reiter summarised the special features of the nature reserve in a fun story. Legend has it that the Schnackler, a young shepherd, the tedium of whose solitary work on the Griesener Alpe in the Kaiserbach valley drove him to ‘make music’ in a very special way: He clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers – and since those days, as the folk saying goes, this is what we know as ‘Schnackeln’.

The history of the trail is now revealed via play and educational elements making it suitable for children. The two legendary figures welcome visitors at the entrance. Then it's all about finding your balance on wooden peonies, climbing a net like a spider and completing a test.
