Got a bit lost while exploring, as the path could be signposted a bit more in places...

Melsungen Gnome Trail - always beautiful😊 and a lovely shady walk in this weather.

We met small children along the way who had shining eyes and were excited to discover little things at the gnome stations that we wouldn't have discovered ourselves. It was really nice 🥹🫶!

You park and start at the forest swimming pool and first follow the B2/3 route. Then you turn onto the B1.
If you keep your eyes open, you will discover 13 lovingly designed gnome dwellings😍
Unfortunately, all the gnomes had flown away😉

Chapeau 🎩: I admire people who have beautiful and creative ideas and implement them. In Melsungen there is a small forest gnome path, with a town hall and climbing park! I have already found some beautiful works of art, but not all of them yet.
Follow B2 and B3 from the swimming pool and keep your eyes open 👀.

Just take a little walk in the city forest and look for gnomes. Many thanks to the Ellenberger family for this great idea 😘 obviously something like this is needed to get whole groups of people into the beautiful Melsungen city forest 🫠
