    The two forest gnomes Helos and Heloni take us on an approximately 800m long circular trail in and around the Ehlscheid spa gardens. Many stations invite us to join in, marvel and enjoy.

    We start our adventure at the forest playground with its own football pitch and calesthenics fitness station. We pass the grasshopper and the spider's web, the forest school class with blackboard and the balancing stations before reaching the fairytale home of the forest gnomes. Here the funny trees give us a friendly look until we pass the funny snake and reach the forest sound station. Once in the spa gardens, there are numerous beautiful places to enjoy a picnic.

    The Kneipp pool is wonderfully refreshing and we have lots of fun on the barefoot path. On the circular trail, we learn lots of interesting facts about plants and animals on information boards. The forest school class provides plenty of seating and a blackboard. This makes the Ehlscheid discovery trail ideal for kindergarten and school excursions.

    Fancy more adventure? The two GPS puzzle tours "Copper" and "Gold" start and finish in Hümmerich at the Landhotel Fernblick, covering almost 5 km through woods and meadows and taking around 2.5 hours. Each tour consists of 10 exciting and tricky puzzles. At the end you will find a treasure chest and have to crack a numerical code.

    The game requires waypoint maps and GPS devices, which can also be borrowed from the hotel (please reserve in advance, free of charge, ID must be provided).

    Author’s recommendation

    We can draw balls for the football pitch from the vending machine.

    Fancy more family-friendly hikes? The dwarf trails around Rengsdorf invite us to take exciting walks, HERE you can find all the information!
