Forest Spirits Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very nice carved sculptures on the forest spirits path. The path is about 1.4km long and leads straight ahead from the Greifenstein, not past the Stülper cave as in my highlight section

S Karzl, the little cult figure from the Erzgebirge on the Waldgeisterweg. ;-)

An open-air stage, a lovely playground, and climbing walls invite you to linger.
