Alpen Orientirungslauf Niederhorn

Rocky gang – the adventure begins!

Hidden paths, cool climbing rocks, a mysterious forest, fascinating wild animals, stunning alpine plants – the area around the Niederhorn offers many interesting adventures. No one else knows the Niederhorn better than the four friends Rocky, Happy, Yummy and Lenny. Together, they are the Rocky-gang.

Their leader is Rocky, a strong brave ibex. When he climbs over the steep rocks, Happy is too scared to even watch him. Happy is not the bravest rabbit but he knows all the stories that are being told in the forest. If the Rocky-Gang is hungry, Yummy will take care of it. The shy deer is known as a gourmet and always finds the most delicious treats on the Niederhorn. Lenny the lynx is always up for a surprise: He is a master in sneaking up to his friends and loves to give them a scary moment.

Looking out for new paths and exploring the area around the Niederhorn is the favorite activity of Rocky and his friends. Every member of the Rocky-Gang has its own path with different levels of difficulty.
