Off we go to the special forest animals on the Ritten...
From the Oberbozen train station we follow the small signs with the Pyramix. This awaits us at the start of the children's trail at the edge of the forest above Oberbozen and will tell us a lot about the wild animals. We can already see the first colored spots shining through the trees. I wonder what that could be? ...It's Fiona, the clever fox. She has found a great place for her den here in the forest.

The path leads us on to Ivo, a prickly companion who is mainly found foraging at night. Well, which animal is that?

Again and again we pass various forest and meadow dwellers. Whether it's Walter the hard-working great spotted woodpecker, who hammers a cave into the tree for his chicks with his pointed beak, or Sissi, the busy squirrel, who gathers her supplies for the winter in summer.

At each of these stations, children will find great play opportunities that teach them about the characteristics of the animals in a playful way and, of course, there is also a description of the wild animal with its special characteristics.

Breathing in healthy forest air and fun for young and old are guaranteed.

This scenic route, known as the Sentiero di Sissi in Italian and the Sissiweg in German, leads to the areas of town most beloved by Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sissi. The charming Habsburg sovereign stayed in Merano several times in the second half of the nineteenth century, and was enchanted by its charm. This path dedicated to her connects the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle with the city centre; it passes through eleven stages along the way, each with a story to tell. From the castle that majestically dominates the botanical gardens, Sissi’s Path winds its way past Pienzenau and Rubein Castles, the Reichenbach Residence, Piazza Fontana (Brunnenplatz), Rottenstein Castle, and the Bavaria Hotel; it then continues down to the river, crosses the Roman Bridge, skirts the Wandelhalle and finally pays homage to the empress in the park dedicated to her. The park is on the edge of the Summer Promenade and there is a statue erected in Sissi’s honour. Obviously, the trail can be followed in either direction.
