リーダーアルプの天然記念物・トップ20

The circular trail is almost 500 metres long and always offers you the perfect view of the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch. Information boards along the route provide interesting facts about the largest ice stream in the Alps and the surrounding mountains. The circular trail starts directly at the Eggishorn mountain station.

Unfortunately, it is still not known how the historic Stockalper Garden was designed in the 17th century. However, its basic structures, which Kaspar Stockalper von Thurm added to the formerly much larger garden landscape (some 10,000 m2), can be precisely described in the historical sources. The garden is divided into two elements: the parterre with pleasure garden (Viridarium) equipped with water elements and squares, and the park with orchard (Pomarium) planted with Pro Specie Rara varieties. With the exciting tree planting, the project spatially ties the different sub-areas together. The meadow embankment is kept free of trees, creating a beautiful transition to the vineyard slope and an exciting line of sight to the castle. Above the cellar vaults, the rose garden provides a small-scale counterpoint to the wide areas. Source: https://www.myswitzerland.com/de-de/erlebnisse/parkgarten-stockalpergarten/

Kaspar Stockapler was probably the most successful early capitalist far and wide in his time. Not only the Stockalper Palace in Brig testifies to his wealth - the extensive palace gardens are also a sight to behold. The Stockalper Garden, which was remodeled in 2002, is a particularly inviting place to linger in the summer. The garden has several fruit trees, beautiful lawns, a children's playground and a rose garden. Source and information at: https://www.brig-simplon.ch/poi/stockalpergarten

This lake supplies the three mountain villages with drinking water. This shows even more that we need to take care of our nature.

The 2,926 meter high mountain is accessible by a cable car and is very popular because of its great panoramic views
