Introductory part for the "Lechfan Pass" (4-part school program)
30 kg heavy, 130 cm long and the best animal builder! It's me, Castor fiber - the European beaver! For about 180 years I had disappeared in Tyrol. Now I am back - in over 100 hunting grounds throughout Tyrol!
Program
Ideally, experiential education consists of an indoor module and an excursion. Ideally, there should be 1-2 weeks between the two events. The program is designed to teach interesting facts about the beaver in a fun way.
First, we bring the life of this fascinating rodent into the classroom with extensive didactic materials.
During the excursion into the beaver's territory, we can then find numerous traces of the beaver, for example burrows, dams, food rafts, feeding traces or step seals - but the beaver itself sleeps during the day... shhh!
Ideal seasons
To visit beaver territories are late fall and late winter or early spring. At these times, the tracks are more easily visible because the riparian vegetation along the water bodies is in vegetation dormancy.
Ideal locations:
(beaver territories) are found in the district of Reutte mainly on the Loisach in the Ehrwald basin (protected area), on the Vils in the area of the municipality of Vils (protected area) or on the Lech mainly in the Reutten basin (protected area).
