Park Seleger Moor
The park Seleger Moor in Rifferswil is worth a visit - and not only for garden lovers: it is a local recreation area for young and old, for families, those seeking peace and quiet, but also for nature lessons and cultural events.
The "speciality of the house" presents itself on a total area of 120 000 m2: Hundreds of thousands of flowering rhododendrons and azaleas shine in an overwhelming blaze of colour. In addition, shrub peonies and water lilies are enchanting; the mystical fern garden with its many shades of green offers a calming contrast, a real pole of tranquillity. As early as April, the shrub peonies provide a firework of colour; in May and June, the flowering rhododendrons delight - the "Weinlese" variety planted in the park even blooms until late autumn - and the luminous water lilies delight the eye and soul until August.
In addition to numerous winding paths, a wheelchair-accessible walkway leads over three kilometres through the park, and the park pub offers fine refreshments for a break in between. Families will enjoy the barbecue area for their picnic. Every year, the Seleger Moor Park enchants more than 40,000 guests with a fairytale experience of nature.
Its central location in northern Switzerland (25 minutes from Zurich, 20 minutes from Zug, 30 minutes from Lucerne and 50 minutes from Aarau) makes the Seleger Moor park the perfect destination for garden lovers, families, schools and connoisseurs large and small.
More than just looking at flowers
But there is much more to Seleger Moor Park. It offers enough space to cover different ideas of local recreation, culture and knowledge transfer. It is a place to relax, to exchange experiences, to learn through play, simply to stroll, alone, with friends or in groups, and for cultural events of all kinds.
Interested visitors can choose from an appealing range of guided tours to observe animals and plants, entertaining family events, picture exhibitions and concerts, fairy tale days and handicraft events for the little ones. And plant and garden lovers in particular will be inspired by the plant sale at the park exit to take a piece of natural paradise home with them.
