The Kinderwaldweg is a trail near our house that has different stations you can go to along the way.
The first station was a big pond with a boat "thing" that you pull across a rope to get to a little island.
This is Kieran standing on a log.
It was fun!
There were little tadpoles in the pond.
Here is what the boat looks like from the side.
While walking to the next station we saw this weird swamp with an upside-down tree trunk sunk in the middle with plants and trees growing on it!
There was some weird wobbly balance beam.
But the zip-line nearby was much cooler.
You stand on top of a tree trunk (in the background) and sit on a little platform attached to this rope and then you push off and go down the zip-line!
Wheeeee!
Then we walked to the next station.
It was a ginormous teeter-totter. You could run back and forth from one end to the other to make it shift.
Next station was a musical station where you use a log to hit other logs of different lengths and they make different sounds.
Like this!
They had a giant log with a nail attached to it that said, 'gastebuch' which means guestbook. You could really carve your name into the log with the nail.
This was called a "baumtelefon" which means "tree telephone." We have no idea how it works.
I tried to investigate, but no luck.
If you have any information about how tree telephones work, please let me know.
