This is made more difficult by numerous nest robbers and unpredictable weather. In his lecture, Kurt Bollmann introduces us to the biology and successful life strategy of this small and inconspicuous mountain dweller. | The Auditorium Schlossstall of the Swiss National Park is located directly next to the castle. 10 minutes from the train station.
