The starting point of the themed trail is Fieschertal village square. The path takes you through the Lambrigge district towards the Schweizer Familie barbecue area in Brüchergand. On the dinosaur trail, you encounter eight life-size, hand-made wooden dinosaur replicas. Information boards at each location provide interesting facts about the prehistoric dinosaurs. Walk in the footsteps of the Ankylosaurus, Velociraptor, Parasaurolophus, Ornithomimus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pteranodon, Dimetrodon or Oviraptor. It makes the hike really fun for little explorers and researchers.
