UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - On the fairy tale trail, you roam through the forest and listen to the adventures of Wurzilla, a little root child. Set out to find the dragon, which stands as a symbol of the healing powers strongly felt in nature.
The "Fairy Tale Trail Wurzilla" traces the path of the main character Wurzilla in the eponymous fairy tale book. Wurzilla is torn from the ground as a little root and on the following search for the dragon meets various creatures who assist her on her way with gifts and advice.
The Wurzilla fairy tale trail is especially aimed at families with children aged four to ten years. The circular route is about one and a half kilometers long and offers great opportunities for playing and lingering. For example, the oversized spider web, a huge wooden swing in the middle of the forest.
Shortly after the Hotel Kurhaus Heiligkreuz, the fairy tale trail leads into the forest. The first section of the 1.5km long circular trail runs through the forest. Shortly before you leave the forest via a small suspension bridge, you reach a small pond with a charming view of the pilgrimage site Heiligkreuz. Directly after the suspension bridge there is a nice barbecue area. Follow the path to the road and turn right. The road leads you back to the Kurhaus Heiligkreuz.
