The Elves' Trail invites both children and adults to playfully explore nature. The 3 km route along the forest edge near Obervintl offers interactive stations and charming views that transport visitors to a magical world – an ideal outing for families.

Further information and useful links

Start at the parking lot by the church in Obervintl and set off on the Elves’ Trail – a path full of exciting discoveries for all ages. Along eleven interactive stations, you’ll learn to read tracks, observe forest birds, and explore the life within a bee hotel. A highlight is the waterfall, an ideal spot for a rest. From the rock balcony, enjoy a beautiful view over Vintl before continuing under the treetops, where you can experience the magic of the forest with the "elves."

The return route leads past a dry stone wall, perfect for discovering local wildlife. At about three kilometers long, the Elves' Trail is easy to walk and especially suited for children.
