Family Tour: "Tritsch, Tritsch" echoes from the forest


An adventurous search for the legendary and extremely shy Elwetritsche is only possible at odd hours. These legendary and very shy creatures dwell in the Palatinate forests. Some of these endearing creatures have even been heard near the Kronenbuche! Armed with a catch bag, a lantern, and the famous call, this exciting family hike takes you to mysterious spots deep in the Falkenstein Forest. Important: To outwit the Donnersberg Tritschen, you’ll need to track them down in the forest at an odd hour.
