The Welcome Allee allows visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation as soon as they arrive and become Lozzli themselves with the photo spot. In addition, the guidance system in the village center addresses children's rights and encourages reflection.
Painting and solving puzzles at the same time is great fun - and with the hidden object picture, which guides artists and explorers through the Pestalozzi adventure village, you even learn interesting facts about children's rights. For example, did you know that every child has the right to education, play and leisure?
Currently closed. The climbing net is in hibernation and will be reinstalled in spring.
They're crazy in the Pestalozzi Children's Village! The climbing net, a large, colorful net construction, invites you to climb and hide. Or just to hang out for everyone who wants to continue spinning their imaginative thoughts in peace. The minimum age is three years.
On your marks, get set, go! Anyone doing their rounds in the Kick Loop can explore the Pestalozzi Children's Village on a bicycle, scooter, roller board or any other type of vehicle - the visitor center can rent these out if required. Two colored routes lead through the kick loop.
The organ responsible for balance is in the inner ear - so listen carefully! Courageous balancing artists can crawl, hop or dance across the balancing path on the playground. The entry-level trunk with branches helps get a feel for the path.
What's better than a marble run? A giant ball track! This is on a slope on the playground so that the wooden balls can roll down at high speed. Which paths they take and where they finally end up remains the secret of the marble run.
The smallest house in the Pestalozzi Children's Village is somehow the biggest - after all, the tree house stands on a tree trunk three meters high. In the cozy interior there are play facilities, the very best view and an adventurous slide outside.
There are chill and viewpoints at various locations. The wooden loungers and platforms allow (insights) views on several levels: within yourself, at the surrounding nature, to enjoy air currents, smells and worlds of sound, as well as far out - to the shimmering Lake Constance.
The visitor center in the Pestalozzi Children's Village is a cafeteria, exhibition and play lounge all in one. The latter offers everything a child's heart desires: Here the little ones can do handicrafts, read or just play. You will feel right at home in the child-friendly lounge.
