Together with Willy Wurzel you can discover the different stations of the magic forest. Make music on the Waldxylophone, romp on the various playgrounds or score points when throwing a cone. If you need a detailed map of the magic forest, you will find it in the tourist information office of the Birkenfelder Land at Friedrich-August-Straße 17 in Birkenfeld. It is open Monday to Thursday from 10 to 12 o'clock and 14 to 17 o'clock. On Friday you can get tips between 10 and 15 o'clock.

The magic forest is located directly at the holiday park. In parts I have already walked it for the past few days. Today I walked it completely under a cloudy sky. Very beautiful and interestingly designed, ideal for families with children. The paths are easy to walk on, but nothing for strollers, as some of the paths are narrow.

Unfortunately, the ground was quite soft due to all the rain. The landscape was a bit different to what I'm used to from the Sauerland or the Ruhr area. Simply beautiful.
