Road signs Gnome Route

Gnome route in Almbos provided with special road signs

Beware of crossing gnomes! This is what small and large hikers on the Kabouterroute in the Almbos have recently been warned about in a playful way. On their own initiative, some employees of the field service of the municipality of Altena made two special warning signs and placed them at the route.

During the festive opening of the Gnome Route by Mayor Lichtenberg and Alderman Schipper in March, the idea for the signs arose among some employees of the field service of the municipality of Altena. Entirely on their own initiative, two signs were designed, made and placed along the route warning of gnomes crossing.

Councilwoman Claudia Schipper on the men's action: "Super initiative by our field service and a nice enrichment for the Gnome Route!"
