The 60 minute documentary is about a fairytale parc in Altenberg, close to Cologne.Different fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm situated in little cabins are placed on a 1,3 kilometer route in a wood. The parc was founded in 1931. Each cabin is equipped with dolls, who´s hands and faces are made of wax. Many of these dolls are part of the park from the beginning on. Some of the cabins are equipped with sound. When you push a button the fairy tale starts and music plays. Part of the parc is a restaurant and the waltzing fountains. The whole park is run by a family und appears including the staff strangely out of date. A visit to the parc is like a nostalgic trip back in time
