About

Kulturinsel Einsiedel might be the world's biggest playground. This place is the creation of Jürgen Bergmann, a craftsman and woodworker who started building the massive playground in the 1990s. It is an incredible area of artistic woodwork with labyrinths, playing towers, and a wizard castle with a maze underneath.

Bergmann runs a company that creates and exports children's playgrounds worldwide. Anyone who has children or has preserved some childlike wonder in their heart should go there.
