The Mystical Axe of Dalby Forest

The Dalby Forest has always been a place of wonder and mystery, with its lush green trees and enchanting creatures. But there's a new mystery to be solved-one that involves the Lumberjills' secret treasure. Legend has it that the Dalby Sprites gifted the Lumberjills with a golden magical axe as a thank you for taking care of the forest during World War II. But the axe has gone missing, and it's up to YOU to find it!

Treasure Hunt Through Dalby Forest

Get ready for an exciting self-guided treasure hunt that will take you on a magical journey through the mystical forest of Dalby. Starting at the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre, your quest will lead you along the Ellerburn Red Trail, a mainly even and level route that's perfect for Explorers with limited mobility.

But beware-the creatures of the forest are out to both help and hinder you! The sprites can be a little mischievous, but they're on your side and working with the birds to protect the treasure. The ogres, on the other hand, want to melt the axe down into gold coins. Can you find the axe before they do?

The mystical axe of Dalby Forest is waiting for YOU… Are you ready to embark on this magical adventure and uncover its secrets?
