The play stations and the story are presented in three languages (Slovene, Italian, and German).

    Author’s recommendation

    Get your free activity booklet at the tourism offices in Drobollach and Faak am See or at the nearby Naturel Hoteldorf Schönleitn. At the seven game stations, riddles await you. There are three possible answers to choose from at each station.

    You can find the correct answers in the activity booklet. Scratch off the correct answers in your booklet. Once you have solved all the tasks, you will find out which path you need to take to find the goose Frieda.

    Once you have found the goose Frieda, you can pick up a small gift at the tourism office in Drobollach, Faak am See, or at the nearby Naturel Hoteldorf Schönleitn.

    Follow the tracks of Fidelius and set off together in search of the goose Frieda.

    Roadbook

    At the starting point (N 46 561 733 / E 13 929 907) there is a clearly visible welcome sign with the first information about the adventure route. The route is very easy to follow due to the clearly visible stations and signposts and leads over field and meadow paths to the B85 Aichwaldstraße. Caution when crossing the street!

    On the opposite side there is a small shrine where you turn off into the Aichwaldseeweg. At the end of the paved path, the route leads into a small ditch with a path crossing. Here you turn left towards Aichwaldsee. After a few minutes' walk you reach a small farm and again a paved driveway, which leads along the southern shore of Aichwaldsee to the last station of the adventure route in the immediate vicinity of the beach (N 46 554 647 / E 13 946 167).
