The park is in the Bergisches Land near Odenthal, right by <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Altenberger_Dom\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Altenberger_Dom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Altenberg Cathedral<\/a> and close to Cologne. In 18 little forest cottages, moving figures are waiting to come to life at the push of a button. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From the Frog Prince to Rumpelstiltskin<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you walk through the woods, you\u2019ll meet the Frog Prince, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, and Rumpelstiltskin. Between the cottages there\u2019s a playground for little adventurers. The animal residents are happy to have visitors too: goats, sheep, rabbits, and donkeys can be petted and, in some cases, fed. Seating areas along the path are perfect for a picnic\u2014you\u2019re welcome to bring your own food. Your dog is also welcome in the park on a leash.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Fairy Tale Forest Caf\u00e9, you can watch the \u201cDancing Fountains\u201d on the hour.
