Thanks to the creativity of various artists, this path emerged from a world of fables in the middle of the forest, just a stone's throw from Monte Verità. A comfortable walking path suitable for everyone, guaranteeing exciting encounters with amusing wooden sculptures. The silence and atmosphere of the forest make it a magical place. At the starting point, there is a beautiful playground, a wide green area, and a picnic facility with a barbecue. There are also parking spaces and a small bar here. Those who want to extend their route have plenty of options. Numerous trails of various lengths and difficulties can be found in the surrounding forests.
