Here you have to hit the basket with pine cones from an age-appropriate distance.

It was really funny!

PS: Collect pine cones again for the upcoming players / hikers!

Hiking

When target shooting at Nepomuk's nose on the Ludwig-Ganghofer-Laubsbubenweg in Welden, hikers must throw pine cones to hit a "sparrow's nest" under Nepomuk's arm or his nose. The station is part of an approximately 3.5 km long, family-friendly circular trail, which is based on Ganghofer's novel "Lebenslauf eines Optimisten".
Material: Pine cones are used, which should be collected again after the game to keep them ready for future hikers.
Target: The sparrow's nest or the nose of Nepomuk's sculpture should be hit.
Context: The station is one of five interactive stations on the trail.

Pinecone Target Shooting on Nepomuk's Nose
Have fun throwing targets: Hit the "Sparrow's Nest" with the pinecones!

The Game: Visitors pick up pinecones or fir cones from the forest floor and try to hit a hole (the so-called "Sparrow's Nest") under the arm or directly the nose of the wooden figure of the bridge saint Nepomuk.

The Background: The station is part of a child-friendly adventure trail that playfully recalls the childhood of the local writer Ludwig Ganghofer, who grew up in Welden for some years.
