This primeval forest is magical and has a very special atmosphere. The lichens hang from the ancient trees and are proof of the humidity that is breathed in the forest. It is worth a visit on both sunny and cloudy days.

Unfortunately, it is not a laurel forest but simply erica trees that are many hundred years old. The same plant that we know as heather and only grows 30 cm high. Here up to 15m.

Great trees, some "hung" with lichens and mosses

Beautiful path in the rainforest, easy to walk on. The starting point can be reached by bus and at the end there is a bar for supplies. Bus stop for the return journey on site.
