More than 200 years ago, Jacob Grimm set out on foot to explore landscapes steeped in legends and collect traditional stories. Today, you can follow in his footsteps and discover the cultural landscapes along the German Fairy Tale Route at your own pace.
Fancy a longer walk through the countryside? Or perhaps a gentle Sunday stroll with the family along a signposted fairy-tale trail? You could even follow the Bear Trail in Nienburg with friends or explore one of the many themed routes along the way.
Through forests and fields, past castle hills and historic old towns, these trails invite you to experience the landscapes behind the stories – and sometimes to step right into them.
Just a few steps, and everyday life is left behind.
