The starting point is the tourist information, where you can get a marble from the machine (marble machine currently out of order - marbles are available at the tourist information, bike station, and at the upper station of the chairlift) – each marble tells a different exciting robber story. On the approximately 1.4-kilometer-long, pram-friendly path, the marbles roll downhill at 11 interactive stations and take you into the world of Ecki and the robbers. Along the way, there is plenty to experience and discover – play, fun, and nature adventure in one. At the end of the route awaits one of the highlights: one of the largest playgrounds in the region. Here, children can climb, slide, and romp to their heart’s content, while parents relax at the mountain hut inn. Especially exciting in the summer season: when the chairlift is open, a cozy ride uphill perfectly rounds off the adventure." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3411187/285852ed92289982f92d808be12e153e1eed988d48b75796c8cbf4ebf85fe5c4/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Children's hiking trail "Ecki and the Robbers" ============================================== - 1.99 km long - Hiking - 0:30 h - 1.99 km - 1 m - 135 m - 632 m - 767 m - 135 m - - Start: TI Schöneck - Destination: Playground valley station **Closed due to tree-felling work until 30.10., usable again from 31.10.**The marble path "Ecki and the Robbers" combines exciting stories, nature, and fun – perfect for an unforgettable family outing in the Vogtland.
