In this almost mystical place, you feel transported to another time. The blocks of stone and the resulting corridors look almost as if they were made by humans a long time ago.

Druids or witches? Here, the imagination can really go through with one.

Wooded area with large rock formations, some of which are arranged in corridors and are between 2 and 5m high.
In places, strange leaching can be seen in the stones, which is why it was assumed in popular belief that the grove was a place of worship for Celtic priests (druids). However, this could not be proven scientifically. Nevertheless, a brilliant place that has a certain mystical effect, also great for children to climb and discover. Two large panels explain the grove and you can also find the names of the stones there. Definitely visit if you're nearby
