This hike focuses on plants, flowers, animals and geology. The guide aims to draw attention to the small treasures along the trail, helping participants appreciate the beauty and value of nature. Only what we know can we recognize, appreciate and protect.
Nature is an interconnected system and the result of many interacting factors. It is beautiful and fascinating, but also complex and fragile. Therefore, the hike follows the motto: “Experience nature, understand it and preserve it.”
