Fairy Tale Park Mackenrode in Eichsfeld

Experience Fairy Tales for Free at Fairy Tale Park Mackenrode

The Fairy Tale Park Mackenrode has been drawing fairy tale fans young and old to the village of 265 souls in Thuringia’s Eichsfeld region, on the German Fairy Tale Route, since 2009. As soon as you step through the large gate into the park, you’ll immerse yourself in the world of fairy tales. You’ll encounter depictions of Hansel and Gretel, the Wolf and the Seven Kids, the Frog Prince, and many more.

Baking Oven, Lookout Hill, and Playground

From the lookout hill you’ll have a beautiful view of the village and its half-timbered church. At the center of the park stands a large baking oven that can be fired up—then the air fills with the aroma of fresh bread, cake, or flatbread. The kids can let loose on the nearby playground, and right next door is the Gasthaus Am Brandholz. Because no main road separates the park from the playground and inn, the children can run and play undisturbed.

The fairy tale park is open year-round, 24 hours a day, and free for short visits. The entrances are barrier-free. Larger groups should register in advance: use costs €25 per day for up to 20 people, €35 for up to 50 people, and €25 for the baking oven with grill.
