Willi Wichtel (1997)

(From Funagain.com)

In a large meadow, in the middle in the enchanted forest, lives a small family of gnomes. No humans have discovered it so far. Do you want to try? Then you must first find a way through the mysterious and dangerous forest. Carefully creep past snakes, foxes and the giant spider. Finally you'll reach the meadow, where the gnomes live. Now you must look under each fern, each tree root and each stone, because the gnomes are true masters at hiding. Will you find them? Then you are first, and can make friends with Willy Wichtel and his family.
