Dwarf Forest

Highlight • Structure

This is where the dwarf forest begins: a narrow path winds through the trees, and to the left and right there are garden gnomes and all sorts of other bizarre figurines, kitschy creatures and trinkets. And there are more and more...

Quarkloch Cave

Highlight • Cave

According to legend, the Querkela lived in the Quarkloch. To this day, it is not clear whether the Quarkloch is a crevice in the rock or the beginning of a mining tunnel. The entrance is still clearly visible, but after five meters the cave is blocked by rubble and earth. There have been repeated attempts to uncover the cave, but this has not happened to date. The Quarkloch has managed to preserve its mystical existence.
