Tour description:

Ruhpolding's fairytale forest is a mysterious, mystical place. According to legend, it was created in the 13th century when the rock face about 300 meters higher collapsed. Due to the nature of the rock, grottos and small caves have formed and everything is covered with moss. Sunlight falls through the thick branches of the trees and there is even an enchanted lucky grotto and a bear's den from earlier times. The Ruhpolding amusement park is also on the hiking trail in the middle of a forest on the mountain slope. 60 fairytale attractions, from the carousel and dragon ride to the mountain roller coaster, guarantee fun for the whole family.
