The gnome trail is a wonderful hiking trail for families. On a two-kilometer-long circuit, there are 30 little houses to discover that blend perfectly into the forest and take you into a fairytale world.

Each gnome house has its own character. Some even have a terrace or a garden fence.…

December 27, 2025, "Wichtelweg"🥾🥾❄️🌲🧙🏼‍♀️🧙🏼‍♂️Wilhelmsdorf🩷Mit Melina on Tour😍💖

Today, with the beautiful weather ❄️🌞❄️, Melina and I went to Wilhelmsdorf on the Thuringian Sea 💖. We wanted to hike the Gnome Trail 😍🧙🏼‍♂️🧙🏼‍♀️🥾🥾🛖. It's perfect for explorers like Melina 👏🏻😉😍. Lots of little gnome houses invite you to discover them 👌🏻🛖🌞❄️💜. I also wanted to see if the moss house was being rebuilt 🤔. Unfortunately, there was no sign of it being rebuilt yet...but it will surely be rebuilt in 2026 🫠✊🏻🍀🙏🏻

Today I hiked along the Wichtelweg (Witch Trail) in Wilhelmsdorf. The trail is only 2 km long and there are beautiful gnome houses to discover. Some are right along the trail, others are a bit hidden. The "Mosshäuschen" lookout point offers a beautiful view of the Saale River and the valley below. The little house burned down in the summer and has been demolished, but the site is still cordoned off. The Touringen (touringen) stamp box, however, is back in place. A very relaxing hike for those who don't want to hike so far or who enjoy shorter hikes. No special skills or special footwear are required here.

Hello 🙋‍♀️ Birthday party 🥳🎂🎈😍... After an entertaining morning and a delicious coffee ☕️🧁🍧, we discovered the Wichtelweg (Witch Trail) at the Hohenwarte Reservoir 💦. Very interesting 🧐 for children and grandchildren 🙃🍀☺️. It's not too long... and too boring for non-hikers 😂 You have a great view of the reservoir from the Mooshäuschen (Moos House) 🤗

Worked again until lunchtime - and then took a short detour to the Thuringian Sea 🌊 Small 🐕🐕 walk on the Wichtelweg 🧙 to the Mooshäuschen🏚 - and took stamp♟️ 222 and left a lucky worm 🐛💖🍀 behind. Very nice little children's hike - hopefully it will stay that way until our grandchild is big enough 🙏😍
