Nice Sunday hike with @Christina 🍀🐝🌞 on the paths of elves 😁😁😘😘
At the beginning of today, the weather wasn't kind to us ☔🌧️ it rained a little. But we were well equipped 🥾 And we had a goal. We really wanted to free the 🧚🏼♀️ elf Liria! The children are told a very imaginative and loving story about the elf Liria, the evil dragon Grauslich and the magical goblins over 9 interactive stations. The route is scenically 🌳🪻🌾🌼🌺 beautiful and varied. At the end we freed the elf Liria and were able to download a certificate via a QR code as a reward. At the end we went for a spin on the great playground. The Elfensteig turned out to be a real hit. 👍🏼 Not suitable for strollers!
After several laps on the "Schanzen Wirbel - Alpin Coaster", I needed something to reduce the adrenaline a bit. This little loop was perfect for that. Lots of wide paths, lots of felled trees, but this path offers a nice story and 1-2 beautiful sections. I had expected more, but the child liked it, so it was a complete success 😎 More information about the tour: https://www.winterberg.de/tour/der-fabelhafte-elfensteig-in-winterberg-zueschen/
Did a tour of the Elfensteig with the kids today 🥾🥾. Despite a few meters of altitude, a wonderful tour for children, accompanied by goblins. Unfortunately, the bark beetle did a great job here too 😓😓
Today's Sunday hike went to Züschen on the 🧚♀️Elfensteig with @Gerhard 🥾🎒🚴♂️🍁 ❤️😘😍🥰 in glorious sunshine and cloudless skies. This hike is highly recommended and was a lot of fun.
You park at the Züschen fire station and from there there is a sign, directly on the road, to the Elfensteig. The start is further down at the playground. https://www.winterberg.de/tour/der-fabelhafte-elfensteig-in-winterberg-zueschen/
A great family hiking trail. With 9 participation or reading stations so that it doesn't get boring on the way
Easy hike with small children. Adventure trip to Elfenland with stories for the children. Lots of play options.
