Description
The forest is in part barren because the larch trees have dropped their needles.
These fell from the larch branches at the beginning of winter and now lie dormant under the snow.
If there is little snow, they add red colour to the ground cover.
The old Swiss stone pine trees remain green and stand still in the crystal-clear winter air.
Whoever remains absolutely still and does not move during a tour might see a squirrel or even deer.Outstanding view of the Matterhorn in Findeln.
