The botanical walks
Chandolin - The Chandolin "Botanical Walks" provide 22 information panels to increase your knowledge of flowers.
The Chandolin “Botanical Walks” educational trail has been designed with the aim of raising walkers’ awareness of the different types of plant life in the region. 22 information panels describe the local flora; these are set out along existing footpaths and are arranged into four suggested routes. The numerical classification of the panels in itself has no connection with the paths; they are classified in accordance with their environment.
The panels provide information such as:
- Explaining the type of vegetation
- The distinguishing features of the plants
- The main types that characterise them
- The active substances and culinary value of certain plants
