This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Blockhausen. It is a private forest area where the World Championship in Chainsaw Carving takes place annually. We saw the sculptures, which are somewhere between cute and creepy for kids. The article says: "To our amazement, we can hardly imagine how the many filigree details can be carved with chainsaws."

Highlights: The kids loved the Abenteuerspielplatz (adventure playground). We spent more time there. We were impressed by the sculptures. "The sculptures, which I would classify somewhere between cute to creepy..." The kids loved the Abenteuerspielplatz (adventure playground) ✨
