With the Mayor and Dragon Adventures
After the opening of the reading festival by Mayor Roland Meder, Woodwalkers author Katja Brandis will introduce her new series.

The event combines reading aloud, listening, and shared wonder into a special family experience.
Reading Fun for Children Aged Ten and Up
