Going on a journey - this is Herbie´s biggest wish. Herbie is a gnome from the forest Siebengiebelwald. When one day he sets out on his journey, he has many adventures. And very closely he escapes the wicked Plampatsch. He makes a new friend named Zwottelzottelschratz, who accompanies him back home.
