I still get a lot of folks asking me what Efteling is. Well here are some photos of the Fairy Tale Forest (Sprookjesbos). This is where it all began, although naturally a lot of things have come and a couple have things have gone since the opening in 1952. Take a moment to enjoy some fairy tale goodness in the form of our Sprookjesbos photos. Click the image below to have a look:
Sprookjes bestaan!

Saturdays during the Summer in Efteling are very busy. It turns out that Sundays are also quite busy, because of course it is still the weekend. The one part of the park that most people seem to head to first is the fairy tale forest, and last Sunday it was very busy in there. Amongst the biblical amount of mothers with strollers, toddlers running around trying to get a good look at their favourite fairy tales, and older folks trying to get some good photos, there was a man tentatively shuffling through the masses with a tray full to the edges with cups of hot coffee (with no lids on). Where he had come from, who knows, because he wasn’t walking in, but rather out.
We kind of wondered if he made it to the other end without scalding anyone 🙂

It was pointed out on Eftelist way back in September last year, that Mr. Long Neck has been staring to the left for quite a long time! If you are not familiar with him, as his neck gets longer and shorter, his eyes are meant to move from side to side, looking across Efteling.
Here he is last year, without eye movement:
And this is what his eyes are meant to be doing:
Please Efteling, give him his eyes back!

If you have been to Efteling and you don’t understand Dutch, you will know how it is. Standing there pretending to know what is going on when in actual fact, you have no clue! You know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, but what is the Troll King saying? And what is Hugo talking about in Villa Volta? Well, thanks to a good friend of Efteling UK, you can now understand everything, because she has translated a good chunk of the Efteling attractions! Thanks Milena!
So now, you can stand there with your head up high, because you read all of the stories before you left to visit Efteling. There are fairy tales to read, as well as the story of the Laafs and that all important Villa Volta transcript (it is a long time to stand and listen to something which you don’t understand!) There are also sound clips in English, if you don’t feel like reading the story.

Thank you Milena!
