Guided Story
Imagine you're stepping into a fairy tale. Can you hear the gentle trickle of water? That's your invitation to immerse yourself in the story of Hansel and Gretel. Take a look at these intricate sculptures – they capture the tale of siblings finding their way through the dark forest. If you look up, you'll see the moment Hansel and Gretel discover the witch's house, frozen in time. Behind you is the Markuskirche, but right here, the world of the Brothers Grimm unfolds in a fascinating blend of stone and water. The craftsmanship almost lets you smell the gingerbread walls that lured the children in. It's a little artistic oasis amidst the bustle of city life.
