Hi Ulrich
thanks for the suggestion. I made the change and now all the pings are
translated, however I struggle with the ping replies reaching my VM.
What I now have:
ip6tables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -s fd00::/64 \! -o vboxnet0 \
-j SNPT --src-pfx fd00::/64 --dst-pfx 2001:e20:2000:40f::/64
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i wlan0 -d 2001:e20:2000:40f::/64 \
-j DNPT --src-pfx 2001:e20:2000:40f::/64 --dst-pfx fd00::/64
And also these sysctl settings:
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 2
net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 2
Now the ping goes to google and back...

... but my laptop (the gateway) rejects it:

2404:6800:4006:804::1012: ICMP6, destination unreachable, unreachable
address fd00::b00:27ff:feec:3987, length 112
This is from the external wlan0 (wifi) interface. Nothing with regards
to the reply appears on the internal vboxnet0 interface.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
