back to Project Biography List
Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
Because the project affects an urban space and characteristic landscape as well as different ecosystems, the most important challenge is to respond to these issues and protect the delicate resevoir area where rare plants and the Kingfisher nests are. The project " Lorzenuferweg" is created according to the set conditions, the topography, vegetation, and the delta of torrent Lorze. The trail is planned primarily in terms of soft tourism, man should not significantly affect the nature. The 3.5 km long "Lorzenuferweg" will be part of tue Cham community‘s recreation and networking concept. Various platforms, seats and pulpits serve the people as a resting and insight into the surrounding, protected nature.
