Somewhere between Horgenberg and Sihlwald, Hiky has lost his binoculars. Near Lake Pfäffikon, a frog cannot find his way home. And around Rümlang, the big question is how to learn how to fly. On Via Natura’s audio story trails, families hike through some of Canton Zurich’s most distinctive landscapes while a story unfolds alongside them. Hiky, the Zürcher Wanderwege mascot, leads the way as kids search for the next audio stop, scan the QR code and find out what happens next.
The surroundings are woven into the stories too. Forests, wetlands, lakes, wildlife and plants all have a part to play, and even the sky above the airport becomes part of the plot. With every stop, families piece together a little more of the story until the mystery finally comes together. Solve it all and you may be rewarded with a small surprise.
From Horgenberg to Sihlwald
Hiky has lost his binoculars and needs help tracking them down. Over 3.7 km, families follow the story, meet animals along the trail and tackle small challenges before reaching the visitor center.
From Rümlang to Oberglatt
How do you learn to fly? Hiky goes looking for answers between Rümlang and Oberglatt. Across ten audio stops, families watch planes, birds and dragonflies while following the story and solving challenges.
From Wermatswil to the Pfäffikersee Nature Center
Frog Finn has lost his way back to Lake Pfäffikon. Families join him and Hiky on a 4 km hike, following the story across twelve stops and working through small challenges before reaching the nature center.
