Fairytale forest hike

A wolf gorge, a goat farm and original, mysterious forests bring back childhood memories of Grimm's fairy tales. The fairytale forest hike in the UNESCO Global Geopark Muskauer Faltenbogen runs away from traffic noise and stress. On the approximately eight-kilometre-long route, you can come down to earth while hiking and indulge in contemplative thoughts. At the end of the tour, you can enjoy cheese and regional wine at the goat farm Pusack (only available seasonally).
