The canton’s three large moorlands enchant visitors with their unique beauty and biodiversity. These wet and marshy areas are home to a multitude of rare plant and animal species that have adapted to the specific conditions. Mosses, heather, and peat mosses adorn the rolling hills, creating a colorful backdrop. At dawn, the fog bathes the moors in a mystical light, lending them an air of mystery.
