A cute cartoon "Lily the Cow" hosts this fun trail for kids wanders through a beautiful alpine garden at the Schynige Platte mountain.
Children visit nine stations in the garden, doing little activities and puzzles at signboards. At each station, they answer a question and record the answer in the free activity booklet that goes along the trail.
After figuring out the code word, they can show it at the restaurant to choose a small prize from the treasure chest.
It's a typical dirt path, with bumpy parts and stairs. No strollers on this one.
