Description of the attraction
In the vicinity of the town of Meiringen there is an amazing theme park Mugeshtutz and Haslitzwerg, which is dedicated to the little mountain people - the gnomes. The park will appeal not only to kids, but also to their parents. Two routes, developed by the park's employees, are laid out in very picturesque places. One of the routes is called "Adventure on the Dwarven Trail." The little ones who set off on it can find the treasures of the gnomes in the cave, experience the Eagle Swing and learn a lot about the way of life of little gnomes in red caps.
The second route "House in Bannwald" passes by dwarf houses, which are unlikely to accommodate an adult, but children will feel good at the same time, over a suspension bridge, past a swamp to a cable car. Each building on the way can be entered. In the houses of the gnomes, children will be given tea and delicious cookies. It is baked by the wives and daughters of the gnomes. The fathers of the dwarf families themselves disappear all day in adits, mining for precious stones. Only occasionally do they gather in their capital, the city of Haslitzwerg. The leader here is a dwarf named Mageshtuts. The amusement park is named after him.
To walk along the paths of the park, you need to take care of durable and comfortable shoes. If it snows in the mountains, the recreational trails in the gnome park are closed.
The stories about Magestutz and his friends were invented and painted by Suzanne Schmid-Hermann. Her books on the adventures of the gnomes are very popular with the children of Switzerland.
In the information office of the Mugeshtutz and Haslitzwerg parks, you can buy both beautifully published books about gnomes and souvenirs with images of the main characters of the Schmid-Hermann stories.
