- 5 km long family-friendly circular hiking route through Eibenstock

- along the way, 15 different fairy tale houses can be discovered, which contain lovingly designed fairy tale scenes

"Once upon a time…"

... at a time when people had neither television nor mobile phones, neither radio, tablet, nor laptop. At that time, people often sat together in the evenings and told each other wondrous stories they already knew from their grandmother, and the children listened intently to later tell their own children. Often, the stories were about good and evil spirits, witches or wizards, princes and princesses. Also goblins, fairies, many different animals and, of course, children were the main characters. Since everything was made up, these stories were called "fairy tales". Wurzelrudi wants you not to forget these wonderful fairy tales and has therefore built a great fairy tale circular route through Eibenstock for you. Along the way, you can discover many fairy tale figures in their little houses and also solve a fairy tale puzzle.

Wurzelrudi wishes you lots of fun on the way "and if he hasn't died, then he still lives today in the dense Auersberg forest."
