Nature

The Buchrainer Schachen is one of the richest areas of the Lucerne Reuss Plain and contains numerous remnants of the former natural river landscape. In the Chänzeli area, south of Chänzeli Pond, there is an oxbow channel that serves as an important refuge for several animal species. The Rotbach has a natural character; its wetland vegetation and eroded banks provide kingfishers with nesting opportunities.

Together with the meadows of Rooter Unterallmend, the Iris Meadow is considered the most important purple moor-grass meadow in the Lucerne Reuss Valley. It continues to provide a habitat for several endangered plant species, including orchids. LuzernOst includes Buchrain and designates the banks of the Reuss as areas for leisure, exercise and nature experiences.

Paths and Exercise

Together with other Rontal municipalities and LuzernPlus, Buchrain contributed to the creation of the Rontal Höhenweg trail. The trail has access points and public transport stops, allowing shorter sections to be selected as well.

The barbecue areas along the Reuss offer space in summer for outdoor meals with friends and family. At Hinterleisibach in Buchrain, there is a beach volleyball court for summer sports and relaxation.
