Join Blacksmith Elf Along the Kropa Nail-makers’ Trail

Visitors set off on the theme trail equipped with a booklet of tasks, in which they can find instructions for the trail and a number of interesting facts about Kropa, as well as tasks to solve. You will learn about both the technical and ethnological heritage of the village, and the booklet even contains a recipe for a popular Kropa sweet treat as well as instructions for making a traditional Kropa toy – a cloth ball. A special experience awaits you in the Learning Park in Kotel, where interactive points for children are available between April and November.

The trail is particularly suitable for children between 4 and 12 years of age.

What the experience offers:

• educational text and attractive illustrations in the booklet
• following the trail using the map helps teach orientation skills
