The legend reveals the secret behind the red hues that each day momentarily color the mountainsides there known as the Rose Garden. At the center of this whirlwind of adventure is Laurin, King of the Dwarfs, who lived in a crystal castle with a lavish rose garden, nestled among the rocky spires of the Italian Dolomites.

Select a language to read and/or hear the story in English, Italian or German. Each illustration conceals many animated interactive adventures – touch characters and objects to experience the magical effects! What a thrill to help King Laurin become invisible or fight against other knights, free the princess or change the colors of the Rose Garden. An original soundtrack composed especially for this app and exclusive sound effects create an even more spellbinding atmosphere.
