The King of Gantrisch – Expert Excursion Lynx for Adults

Description

The lynx is at home in the Gantrisch Nature Park. The big cat feels especially comfortable in large forests interspersed with rocks. Its prey includes wild animals such as deer and chamois, with whom it shares its large habitat. Although there are several lynxes in our region, they are very rarely observed. On the expert excursion with the nature park ranger, we go on a short hike through the lynx's territory. Together, we look out for tracks in the forest and snow. With specialized knowledge, we learn more about the lynx and other wild animals and their behaviors. We also learn about some strategies animals use to survive the winter and how we humans can protect and support them. With a bit of luck, we may even observe wild animals. Afterwards, we head to the rest area and end the excursion with a communal barbecue by the fire. The ranger is happy to provide information about the nature park, the animals, and his work. Note: This is an expert excursion. The educational content is aimed at adults. A family excursion for children with playful educational content will be offered on Friday, January 8, 2027. See link | We meet at the Thanwald grill site - Luftschranz, which is within sight of the Than bus stop in Rüeggisberg. Afterwards, we hike through the Thanwald and return at the end to the Luftschranz barbecue site near the Than bus stop. Carpooling can be organized via the carpool link. Please note that a spot must be offered first before it can be booked. The organization of carpooling is done among the participants themselves. The Gantrisch Nature Park merely provides the platform.
