Säumerspielplatz Glaspass

In 1910, the end of Lake Lüscher was sealed at Heinzenberg. The lake basin was drained. However, the end of Lake Lüscher is only part of the exciting story of the landslides on the Heinzenberg.

Description

Large-scale forest clearing and a destructive torrent caused landslides. Only an extensive large-scale project with elaborate countermeasures and partly massive interventions in nature and landscape provided a remedy.The Heinzenberg adventure trail tells all this and much more. At more than a dozen information points, young and old alike are given a lot of exciting background knowledge.A free hiking guide with lots of additional information is available at the Glaspass and Obergmeind access points. There is a well-equipped barbecue area at Lüschersee, firewood is available.

Any trail closures/restrictions or diversions can be found here.
