The illuminated fir trees were decorated with festive baubles featuring illustrations by Julie Völk from the book *Zur Zeit, wo das Wünschen noch geholfen hat* (When Wishes Still Came True), each displaying a single letter. Using competition cards, the children could put short fairy-tale quotes in the correct order to uncover a solution word. QR codes also allowed visitors to listen to selected fairy tales right there on the spot.

The Fairy-Tale Forest combines a Christmassy atmosphere with playful discovery and invites young and old alike to immerse themselves together in the world of fairy tales. As a recurring feature of ‘Advent in Graz’, it will continue to tell new stories in the years to come.
