UNESCO World Heritage Trail – Bench No. 11: Wet Meadows – Kandersteg’s Valuable Habitats
In Kandersteg, the numerous wetlands, lakes and streams result in a particularly high amphibian density. The Alpine salamander, known locally as “Rägemoli”, is found in the region. Besides amphibians, Kandersteg is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including ibex, chamois, marmots, black grouse, bearded vultures, and the golden eagle – the heraldic symbol of Kandersteg.
