The town of Dietikon plans to start construction work on the stream adventure trail in Grunschen Park on 7 July. The natural Kneipp facility should be completed by late summer. The canton of Zurich and the town of Dietikon are investing a total of CHF 160,000 in the project.
The town of Dietikon is embarking on the construction of a stream adventure trail along the Reppisch watercourse in Grunschen Park. Construction work will begin on 7 July, the town council announced in a press release. The natural Kneipp facility with a maximum water depth of 20 centimetres should be completed by late summer.
The construction costs are estimated at CHF 160,000 in the press release. Around 110,000 francs of this will be covered by the Canton of Zurich’s Office for Water, Energy and Air. The remaining 50,000 francs will be covered by the town of Dietikon.
The stream adventure trail will have a stainless steel handrail and three entrances and exits for walking with or against the current. Rootstocks and boulders will form seating areas on the embankment. Boulders will also be placed in the water to create different currents. They can also serve as shelter for juvenile fish.
