What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the stunning beauty and authentic atmosphere of Wodanseiken, particularly praising the majestic ancient oak trees and the well-marked hiking trails. The forest is consistently described as gorgeous and a truly special spot for nature lovers seeking tranquility.
"I did 2 hikes here. One of 4.5 km, the blue route. Easy to follow if you watch out for boulders with a blue arrow on them. And one of 3.3 km, look for the small yellow arrow on the small wooden poles (read: up to knee length or smaller). Easiest to start this one on the parking lot and the hotel Wolfheze, Fletcher."
