To get to Winterspring, you have to make a run through Timbermaw Hold (northern Felwood, or Southern Moonglade if you're a druid). The Timbermaw furbolgs start out at Hated, so they will attack you on sight, DO NOT HIT THEM. You can gain rep with them in Felwood to get their rep high enough that they won't attack you by killing mobs and repeatable turnins, or you can just corpse run through the hold (once you're through, you can get a FP at Everlook)

Winterspring is one of my favorite zones. The quests all reward good xp/money and it allows those who aren't interested in Instance Grinding to level to 60 a break to finish to the current level cap.
This zone is the only one where Icecap is found and it has many Black Lotus spawn points.
The Frostsaber kitties make for good grinding fodder in the upper 50's, especially if you're a skinner. They give decent xp, respawn fairly quick, and hardly anyone goes there.
