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 wooden sculpture on the Waldgeisterweg

Highlight • Structure

S Karzl, the little cult figure from the Erzgebirge on the Waldgeisterweg. ;-)
But there are even more wooden figures left and right on the Forest Spirit Trail.

It was a small round, but very varied, I can imagine it with children, they would be totally thrilled 😄.
The paths were fine, overall a nice round

That was another highlight of the Erzgebirge.
Especially the great forest with the beautifully carved and designed wooden sculptures, the forest spirits 😅
I didn't expect so many.
Really good 👏👏👏

Due to the many sculptures and painted stones, the circular route is entertaining and interesting. The high proportion of asphalt and coarse grit on the route are less nice. You also notice the high number of visitors, signs of the human population everywhere in the form of garbage.

Unfortunately, some of the figures have …

Nice walk starting at the playground with toilets. It leads past carved tree stumps (Waldgeisterweg) and lovingly painted stones (Omi's Steinweg).
The path is also great for smaller children and prams. But you have to keep in mind that there are some inclines.
