    Hiking

    The Fairy Tale and Legend Trail on the Rennsteig near Limbach takes you directly into a world full of mystical creatures and ancient legends. Along the Rennsteig, you can hike along winding paths, past ornate wooden figures depicting goblins, witches, and other legendary figures, immersing yourself in their magical world thanks to their stories.
    Translated by
    The Thuringian Forest is rich in fairy tales and legends. Ludwig Bechstein is just one of many storytellers who describe this legendary landscape and its people. Here, directly on the Rennsteig Trail, a path awaits you that brings these fairy tales and legends to life. The large wooden figures and stories will delight not only children.

    The legends and fairy tale characters are a nice idea and show what you can do with wood and skill.
