Step into the magical world of the forest along Funimal Forest walk! Along the trail, eight lovingly designed animal stations bring the mysterious woodland creatures to life. From the clever fox Fiona to the spiky hedgehog Ivo, and Walter the busy woodpecker – each animal friend has its own spot in the forest and playfully shows you its special traits.
At every station, you can try interactive games that teach you about the animals’ behaviors and abilities. As you explore the stations, you’ll breathe in the fresh forest air and enjoy the calm and beauty of nature. Whether you’re with children, family, or even a with a stroller, this path is a delightful experience for all ages – making every visit truly FUNtastic!

Itinerary
From Oberbozen train station, the short ascent to the Funimal Forest trail is signposted with the “Pyramix” logo and trail no. 16 markers. The eight stations begin at Zagglermoos. As you walk through the woodland, you will come across the den belonging to Fiona the Fox. Hike onwards from here to meet with the spiky Ivo. Walter the Woodpecker can be seen hammering on the tree trunk at the next station, after which you will meet with Sissi the Squirrel as she scampers from tree to tree. The trail leads past the Lobishof farm and on to the mill in the shady forest. As you return along the same route, you can stop off to see your animal friends once again.
As an alternative, if you are not walking with a stroller, you can continue onwards on trail no. 18A to Riggermoos and then take trail no. 6 back to Oberbozen.

Details
Always keep an eye on the children and remember to respect the interactive stations and the forest: do not leave any trash behind. In case of sudden weather changes, such as rain or thunderstorms, it’s best to leave the forest and find a safe shelter.

Hiking respectfully!
Stay on marked trails, do not enter the meadows.
Take your litter with you and throw it in the rubbish bins.
Pick up your dog’s poop and throw it in the rubbish bins. Dogs must be on a leash.
Even though the Funimal Forest trail is easy to walk and stroller-friendly, it’s recommended to wear sturdy shoes, especially after rain when the ground can be slippery.
Take your time to observe the animals calmly and fully immerse yourself in the forest. Listen to the sounds, watch the movements among the trees, and try out the play stations – this is how the stories of Fiona, Ivo & Co. truly come to life! If you like, you can bring a magnifying glass or binoculars to observe the animals and plants even more closely.
