The fairytale forest is not only highly recommended for families with children.
All paths are well developed and barrier-free.
The motifs were lovingly created down to the smallest detail and restored after the severe storms of recent years.
Visiting the fairytale forest is free.

From Gera we made a little detour to Wünschendorf.

The way from the Elstertal to the Geyerstein was unfortunately a bit adventurous, maybe you will find alternatives.

In the fairytale forest cottage you get a little something to eat.

Once again there was a late lunch on the Hütchenberg with a great view of …
