    Theme hiking trail – on the way with the marmot “Golmi”. Easily walkable for children from 6 years.

    For children from 6 years: Golmi's research trail is designed for the whole family. The contents of the individual stations are designed for children from six years old but will certainly also provide valuable information for youth groups or school classes.Please note that the path is not suitable for strollers. However, for the very little ones, there is a free child carrier rental (against deposit) at Berghof Golm! The pick-up and return point is located at Berghof Golm right next to the mountain station of the Golmerbahn.

  • Directions

    The path starts at the mountain station of the Golmerbahn on the Latschätzer Höhenweg. Then you follow more than 20 stations of Golmi’s research trail. At the 4th station (Eagle’s View), you leave the Latschätzer Höhenweg and follow the path, partly via switchbacks, downhill to the middle station of the Golmerbahn.

    The marmot “Golmi” guides you over a distance of about 3 km through its habitat and explains interesting facets of the animal and plant world in the mountain forest to both young and adult hikers. The goal is to encourage children to engage respectfully with the natural environment they pass through. Nature is actively and playfully discovered with all senses. More than twenty experience stations bring the exciting topic of nature closer in a playful manner. Allowed is what interests you… Pulling, turning, pressing, flaps, pushing, poking… Fun and action elements (children’s lift, footbridges, water play area etc.) complete the offer, which will delight young and old alike. Places to refresh: Berghof Golm (next to mountain station), Haus Matschwitz (next to middle station) or Holzschopf (next to valley station Latschau).
