But when children are out and about on the water gnome trail, they will discover the little creatures. The family hiking trail is well signposted and offers exciting stations all about the history of the water gnomes. There are opportunities to play, balance and marvel along the way. The trail is easy to walk even for small children and is suitable for pushchairs in summer. At the end, the little hikers can rest at the Waldhäusl and let off steam in the playground. The Wasserwichtelweg is easily accessible by public transport. It is just a few metres from the bus stop on the village square to the starting point of the trail.
