Bartli the Dwarf dwells in the enchanted forest of Braunwald. Enchanting and fairytale-like, he inhabits the forest's eight favourite places.
All you need to do to find these magical places is to follow the path and keep close on the heels of Bartli the Dwarf.

Bartli the Dwarf with his long beard, red trousers and green jumper comes out of his hut from mid-June to October to welcome families and show them his forest.

The trail leads past the mighty Brummbachfall and its water playground, past the little wooden house of Aunt Tiidi, who used to mend his trousers. Those who discover the gemstone fissure where Bartli found the bright red gemstone will still find his pick and his miner's lamp. You might think he had just leapt out of the miniature gorge. Possibly he went up to the cave of dwarf Aegiidi, where his little table and his little bed are? He couldn't have gone far. The miner's lamp is still flickering and snacks on his little plate children have laid out for him.
If Bartli the Dwarf is not in his cosy little hut, maybe he can be found in the dwarf castle near the imposing fissure in the rock, where the throne of the dwarf king stands, the candles are burning and the last flowers from the big dwarf ball are lying in the hall of mirrors.
Adventures of Bartli the Dwarf will be open from mid-June to the end of October. Signs placed throughout this time, with the details and information.
