Today searching for these bronze statues has become a real attraction for travelers. They specifically start searching for these cute gnomes in order to make a memorable photograph with them.
In this city every fairy tale character has its own name and history. Everyone can participate in exciting sightseeing tours, see all statues and learn an interesting history of each gnome.
