The adventure trail starts at the Ravitschana bridge right by the «Ravitschana» post bus stop. It leads us along the Clemgia stream through a mixed spruce, pine and larch forest typical of the region to the Schmelzra Bear and Mining Museum. Along the path there are nine boards with information and games about the bear. These playfully convey information about the bear's way of life and the coexistence between bear and man. There is a barbecue area at the end of the trail.
Author’s recommendation
We recommend a visit to the mountain village of S-charl, which is about seven minutes walk from the Schmelzra Bear and Mining Museum.
