Deutscher Märchenwald Altenberg, Fairy tale theme park in Altenberg, Germany
The German Fairy Forest contains over 20 animated displays featuring mechanical puppets presenting traditional folklore stories within a forested environment.
Founded in 1931, this family-owned park stands among the first fairy tale forests in Germany, maintaining its original concept through generations.
Visitors experience German fairy tales through mechanical scenes depicting stories from Brothers Grimm, including Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel.
The park opens weekends from 11:00 to 18:00, with adult tickets at 8.90 euros and children aged 3-13 paying 6.90 euros.
A musical water fountain from 1956 performs hourly shows with colored water displays synchronized to classical music compositions.
