Hiking

Attracted by the resinous smell of the oriental sweetgum tree, thousands of butterflies flock here between June and September. The Russian bear, as the butterflies are called, mates in the valley and lays its eggs here. This valley is therefore very important for the preservation of its species.

The time where butterflies are seen is from June to August. But even outside of this time it is a great way. The Complete Path is with wooden railing and natural stone stairs. Really great.
