Fairy Tale Walks
Fairy tales brighten the eyes of both young and old, so why not combine fairy tales with hiking? On the "Trail of Forest Spirits" near Ehrenfriedersdorf, tourists are enchanted by fairy tale beings such as the frog king and other carved figures like an owl or a toadstool. Each year, new lovable wooden companions are added to the route, each given funny names. Along the way, there are many other attractions for the little ones: from a climbing forest to a natural stage with a lookout rock and a swimming pond with boat rental.
