Description
The Earth is part of our solar system. Moon, sun, and planets are our closest neighbors in space. Nevertheless, the dimensions of the solar system are so large that we cannot imagine the size relationships. To better understand these dimensions, the Planet Trail Disentis-Sedrun was created. The idea for this trail came from Brother Magnus and two teachers from the Disentis monastery high school. As part of a project week at the high school and in cooperation with Sedrun Disentis Tourism, the panels along the trail were created. The information on the panels is intended to make the dimensions of the cosmos somewhat more comprehensible to visitors.
