Circular hiking route Klosters Stage 2 - Zwergenweg

For children, all objects and beings, especially in nature, are alive. Small children are emotionally very connected to their surroundings and are much more connected to it than adults. In this dreaming awareness, figures like dwarfs, elves, and gnomes live.

Many children lose the ability to see nature beings, to interact with them naturally, and to regard them as part of the real world. Increasing intellectual demands, as well as a lack of contact with nature, cause these spiritual perceptions to fade into the background or possibly vanish. Adults' handling of these topics also causes many children to doubt their perceptions and makes them feel they are doing something wrong.

The Zwergenweg is intended to give children the opportunity to live out their natural connection with nature and its beings. Therefore, we consciously avoid too many stimuli. Children and all adults should have the opportunity to live out their own imagination and enjoy nature in its diversity. The stories and play opportunities on the trail are merely meant to inspire all visitors.

We try to work as much as possible with natural materials and continually redesign the trail. Our work is voluntary, a contribution to nature, the children, and Klosters as a family holiday destination. The trail develops step by step, and your help is gladly accepted. If you see something that needs repair – do it! Keep crafting diligently with the children to beautify the Zwergenweg. Why not sew a dwarf hat at home with your children as a warm-up? We are grateful for all contributions. Above all, we hope you will re-engage with the world of dwarfs together with your children and enjoy nature with all your senses.
