Tour description:

Staudiglhütte - Gasthof Brand - Fairytale Forest - District Brand - Ruhpoldinger Freizeitpark - Vorderbrand - Staudiglhütte

From the starting point " Staudiglhütte " you walk upstream on the right side of the Urschlauer Achen . Follow the hiking trail (No. 50) to Gasthof Brand , where you cross a small stream on the back.

Then continue on the trail (No. 50) to the mystical fairytale forest . There are many small footbridges that lead to exciting, magical places such as an enchanted grotto or an old bear's cave. Always along the main path you come back to the exit of the fairytale forest. You are now back in the district of Brand .

Continue over the bridge, after which you turn into the tarred road (No. 41). Shortly thereafter, after a few farms, you will reach a piece of forest where the Ruhpolding amusement park is located. It really pays off to visit! After turning left again in the direction of Vorderbrand and crossing the bridge, the path will lead you back to the Staudiglhütte .

 

When a 300 meter high rock face collapsed in the 13th century, numerous caves and grottos were created. They grew over the years with moss. Due to these moss-covered rocks , the forest has a very magical effect and always inspires families and especially children.

Twice a year , volunteers slip into the roles of fairies, elves and other mythical creatures . Fairy tales are told on these days, which offer an unforgettable experience in the beautiful forest .
