Description

The banks of the river Aare offer a variety of habitats many of which have been restored in recent years. The walk starts at the municipal zoo, goes along the Dalholzli forest (good for woodpeckers) and then enters the restored riparian forests of the Aare river (Auen). The ponds attract some wildfowl (Harle bièvre) and other wetland species (Râle d'eau, Héron cendré) during the whole year but especially during migration (Bécassine des marais, Rousserolle effarvatte), and winter (Sarcelle d'hiver, Fuligule morillon, Canard souchet, Canard pilet). Beavers have recolonized the river in recent years. Around the turning point of the walk (Auguetbruecke) there is a good chance of seeing Cincle plongeur. The fishponds and surrounding flooded forests at the opposite side attract a variety of birds including Sarcelle d'hiver and Râle d'eau.

Accès

There are several places where this circular walk can be started. Here we propose the Dalholzli Zoo, as it can be accessed by public tranport. But there is also a parking lot at Muri (fee payable). The area is best explored on foot. During summer the 10,6 km long walk can be shortened by crossing the river at the Fahribeizli where one can cross the river by boat. The walk starts at the Dahlholzli Zoo, which is worth a visit on its own right. It has a collection of national animals including Red-Billed Chough, Cappercaillie, Black Grouse, which are on display at the entrance of the Zoo. The path follows the river and goes past ponds holding Dalmatian Pelicans, River Otter and Beaver, and slopes with Alpine Chamois, Alpine Ibex and Wild Boar. In winter the ponds attract a few wild Canard pilet. The Dahlholzli forest is good for woodpeckers
