Tips

The landslide event of 1806 marked the beginning of the development of a diverse natural and cultural landscape. As a protected landscape (BLN), as a moorland, as a dry site, and as an amphibian habitat, the area has fourfold national significance.

While extensive dry habitats with species-rich pioneer forests predominate in the area leading down towards Gnipen, extensive reed beds with ponds and lakes can be found between Goldseeli and Lauerzsee.

Numerous species are endangered throughout Switzerland, but have large populations in the catchment area of the landslide. The area is known for its presence of
31 different orchids, half of all species found in Central Europe.

Considering the threat, the fauna is particularly valuable, especially with regard to butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, and amphibians.

Interesting, especially after the incident in Blatten - landslides happen again and again.
