Route description The starting point is the municipal car park in Krumbach. From there, follow the red marking to the open-air museum. Once there, take the street to the right (Bürgerspital) into the forest onto a forest road. Follow this road straight for about 500m until it crosses a stream to the right. Then continue briefly through a forest path over a footbridge back to the forest road. This leads to Königseggstraße. Once on this (by the farmhouse), turn right towards Krumbach into the town center.Along the way, painted stones and small figures can be found repeatedly, which is why the path is also called the "Fairy Path".
