The way
The circular path is unpaved but suitable for strollers and flat , so you can also manage it with a wheelchair – perfect for a short family outing in the fresh air! Around 50 gnome-themed rooms await you, imaginatively designed from a "Christmas market" and a "bowling alley" to a "treehouse." There are also four discovery caves and a sound tunnel , which is sure to amaze children.
With prize draw rally
For little puzzle fans, there's a fantastic scavenger hunt : At the starting sign, you'll receive cards on which you have to punch holes in pictures you discover along the way. At the end, there's a mailbox for the completed cards – the winners will be notified by email and can look forward to some sweet prizes . (Pencils for filling out the cards are also available at the starting point – donated!)
Donations & Engagement
The Gnome Trail is a passion project of many dedicated crafters. To ensure the trail remains free for everyone, voluntary donations are welcome. You'll find a PayPal code at the starting sign.
