Four kilometres, no climbing, eight puzzle stations: the little fox Fidelius is looking for his missing goose Frieda, and the children join the search. For families the trail is appealing above all because it demands neither fitness nor preparation. Sturdy shoes are enough, and the activity booklet is available at the tourist information office.

The matching activity booklet is available at the tourist information offices in Drobollach and Faak am See. The first section of the route is suitable for prams, so families with toddlers can come along too. ## Highlights at a glance - Circular trail of around 4 km between Faaker See and Aichwaldsee, walking time 60 to 90 minutes - Eight adventure stations with puzzles about Fidelius the fox and Frieda the goose - Free activity booklet at the tourist information offices in Drobollach and Faak am See - First part of the route suitable for prams - A stop at the Café Seerose on the Aichwaldsee ## Our insider tip Pack a picnic. On the Aichwaldsee there is a sandbank that makes a good place for a break before you head back to the starting point.

The walking time is 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how long the children spend at the puzzle stations. ### The first section of the route counts as suitable for prams. After that the trail partly follows unsurfaced woodland and meadow paths, so an all-terrain pram is an advantage. ### The trail itself is free. For the activity booklet with the puzzles, the tourist information offices in Drobollach and Faak am See ask for a small donation. ### The puzzle stations are intended for children from about six years old. Younger children walk the trail without any trouble as a simple family hike. ![](https://apartments-villach.at/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/08/apart-of-me-apartments-villach-hero-320x180.avif?v=1790767112) ## Ready for your stay in Villach?
