    Hiking

    If you walk from the Naturhotel Heidemühle towards Einsiedlerstein, you can take the Malterweg and see fairy dwellings on the right and left of the path, beautifully designed by children, at the root areas of many trees. You can't really miss them and each design is unique, which is why it's a highlight for us.

    Gnome Forest in the Dippoldiswalde Heath.

    Info:

    Gnomes are traditionally small, magical beings, friendly and helpful, but also invisible. If they are seen, they lose their magic. Therefore, the doors to their realm must be closed, and their dwellings should be hidden as much as possible.
