Murimoosweg, Muri, Aargau
Updated: Oct 1, 2022
Overview:
We stumbled across Murimoos years ago and were delighted by the area. With lots to see and do, this area provides the perfect family-friendly way to spend a relaxing Saturday.
This sweet little 3.5 km loop theme trail allows your family the opportunity to follow "Willy" the stork around the route to learn all about animals. The farm is bustling with activity from the resident cows, chickens, pigs and horses. Plus, the two playgrounds are certain to keep your children occupied. While the water area was under construction this past summer (2022), it is our hope that it will be complete and ready by the summer of 2023!
Put this lovely spot on your "to do" list, as it is an ideal location in spring, summer and autumn. For those interested in biking the 3.5 km route, that too, is possible.
