Almost immediately, you'll start to see dozens of fairy homes. It's an entire fairy neighborhood, in fact.

Other fairies aren't quite as organized when it comes to housekeeping. Don't touch the houses; even though the fairies are hiding and are likely not inside, they may be watching you, and they don't like people messing with their homes.

You can also see other interesting fairy-made structures along the way.
