There is a box with a crank on the information board. This can be used to charge a battery inside so that the animal noises can be played.

A wonderful view from up here of Wiesenthal and Wiesenthal Switzerland! The juniper slopes with lean grassland are simply beautiful. Now in spring, many pasque flowers are blooming and I have also discovered the first orchid.
