The circular trail of about 1 kilometer starts at the Glarus trainstation building, at the Glarnerland Nature Center, leads along the Linth river over the Ennenda bridge and on through the Volksgarten back to the Glarus station.
The event is organized by the UNESCO World Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona Association, which makes the impressive mountain landscape of the Sardona World Heritage Site with its unique geological phenomena tangible, maintains and protects it.
