The Elves’ trail in detail

When you arrive at the car park in Obervintl, Lili the elf will be there, ready to accompany you on this exciting walk. Trail number 17 will lead you through a dense patch of woodland, where you will have the chance to interpret animal tracks and observe deer in their enclosure.
