Discover the Grisons parks and the Jurassic Park Aargau
The special exhibition "Bündner Pärke und Jurapark Aargau" is a guest at the Umwelt Arena Schweiz until April 11, 2021. The natural and cultural treasures, the innovative projects and small wonders of the world of the parks are shown in modules and videos as well as a treasure hunt.
The parks - as different as they are - all have the same goal: to preserve exceptional habitats and landscapes while promoting sustainable economic development. Parks include not only outstanding landscapes, but also the lives and culture of the people who live in them.
The special exhibition takes visitors on an exciting discovery tour. Visitors to the Umwelt Arena explore the Swiss National Park with a riddle to touch, hear and see; a hidden object picture explains the processing of old types of grain in the Biosfera Nature Park in Val Müstair; the Parc Ela is brought closer to the viewer by today's park inhabitants, who interpret quotations by the artist Giovanni Segantini in short films; a switchboard explains who is to benefit from the electricity of the world's first solar ski lift "Tenna" in the Beverin Nature Park benefits; all senses need visitors in the Parco Val Calanca. Who is interested in overthrusting processes of rock layers, is in the Tectonic Arena Sardona, a Unesco World Heritage Site, in the right place. Right on our doorstep, at the gates of Zurich and Basel, is the green treasure trove that is the regional Nature Park "Jurapark Aargau.
By means of a treasure map, young and old can set off on a treasure hunt through the parks, take part in a competition and, with a bit of luck, win a Bündner Pärke product basket. If you don't want to wait that long for a treasure of the Grisons parks, you can find organic honey from the Beverin Nature Park in the store of the Umwelt Arena. Martina and Bruno Walder Mändli run the organic beekeeping Viamala with great commitment. Within 25 years, a small swarm developed into an apiary with almost 100 colonies.
Annettina Herren, staff member of the Graubünden Parks Association: "We are pleased to be able to show the seven Graubünden parks, including for the first time the new and in Switzerland only Italian-speaking park Parco Val Calanca, to a broad public in the Umwelt Arena Schweiz".
