Eichwald – Tamins Nature Trail The nature trail uses 19 information panels to inform you about the origins and diverse habitats of the Eichwald forest. The trail is accessible year-round, but is particularly interesting during the growing season, when countless plants and microorganisms can be observed. The panels are arranged along a path. The walk takes about 2 hours. And is easily accessible even for small children. A picnic area with a fire pit is located in the Benisboden area. The origins of the Eichwald forest are closely linked to human use. Centuries of extensive grazing have kept the Eichwald and Bensiboden areas clear. In the Middle Ages, acorns were highly valued as fattening feed for pigs, and the oak trees were protected from deforestation. Today, forestry authorities are responsible for preserving the trees. The Tamins – Eichwald area is a special forest reserve. Text / Source: Municipality of Tamins, Aligstrasse 1, Tamins https://www.tamins.ch/_docn/3314411/Naturlehrpfad_Eichwald.pdf
