Adventure trail and exhibition

Our permaculture site is open for interested visitors to observe and discover, we have put up signposts of the different permaculture elements.

In permaculture, everything begins with the observation of natural cycles, so we would like to invite all visitors, big and small, to observe.

Please show up briefly at the reception (1st floor of the guesthouse) when you visit the nature trail. In our shop next to the reception you can buy herbal products, seeds, perennials (during the season) and permaculture literature.

We hope you enjoy it!

In addition, a small exhibition about the Alpine Permaculture Schweibenalp is available in our “Permakultur INFOBOX” in the entrance area of Schweibenalp, which is open all year round.
