In this wooden channel, the water can be diverted via various paths, dammed up or drained off in portions for digging. Great fun, not only for junior engineers.

Specialists developed the play equipment and the energy flow especially for this playground. The 2,500 square metre site is located directly behind the football pitch at the Farbschachen sports facility between the villages of Hasle and Entlebuch on the Grosse Entlen. It can be easily reached on foot from Entlebuch railway station. Thanks to the nearby car park, the playground is also suitable for families with lots of luggage. 250 metres away, on the other side of the river, there is a lovely fireplace.
