Tour description

A beautiful adventure trail in Bürs on which local legends and fairy tales are told.
Description

The circular trail can be completed in about one hour. Along the way, there are rest areas with benches for a snack and a rest. Several stations provide entertainment, telling well-known fairy tales, legends from the region and interesting facts about nature:

  • "The honey bees"
  • "The legend of the Peterstein"
  • "The Frog King"
  • "The Legend of the Rosenegg Castle"
  • "The legend of Schesaplana".

The panels were artistically staged by the children of the kindergarten, the primary school and the middle school in Bürs. Funny wooden men accompany them as signposts along the way. A fairytale delight for young and old!

The trail starts at the municipal office in Bürs past the church in the direction of Schaßweg. First follow the Schaßweg for a short distance before the path branches off in the direction of Rosenegg Castle. From there the trail leads through the forest and via Hinterburgweg back to the starting point.
