The above-ground "Fairy World" has added a contemporary attraction to the tradition-rich, listed fairy grottos. The overall project is the staging of a "different world" in the existing forest at the foot of the Saalfeld garden knolls, where the world of fairies is suggested through targeted landscape architectural design (pathways and use of plants) as well as by means of wooden fixtures and sound installations.

After passing through the fairy gate, the visitor follows the "trail of stones" in the maze, via which he reaches the garden of magical fairy plants (fairy garden), the grove of light elves (light garden), the realm of forest spirits (dark garden) and finally the fairy summit castle with fantasy fountain and magic slide. In the different gardens the visitor finds play elements for the development of the senses and for the sharpening of the perception.
