Easy circular trail with a fireplace and a nice picnic area at Resgia Plavna. The fairy tale can be read and experienced at seven stations. The first attraction awaits you after about two kilometres, at the barbecue site. At the end, a rest area with a view of Tarasp Castle invites you to linger.
Note: The trail is basically suitable for prams. With a pram, however, the path is more demanding and more suitable for prams with large and wide wheels.
Author’s recommendation
As a complement to the Dwarf Trail - «Via dals Nanins», a visit to Tarasp Castle is recommended. Tarasp Castle shows an art exhibition by Not Vital, the owner of the castle.
