The Bohemian Forest, known for its picturesque nature and dense forests, is also home to a very special tradition: garden gnomes. These small, cheerful figures have been a popular element in the region's gardens for many years, bringing a cheerful atmosphere with their bright colors and cheerful faces.
Garden gnomes originally come from Germany and became popular in the 19th century. In the Bohemian Forest, they have acquired special significance as they reflect the connection between nature, myth, and craftsmanship. Many local artists still lovingly handcraft the gnomes today, often incorporating traditional motifs and regional characteristics.
