    Always depressing to see traces of the war. Now so much time has passed and the crater is still a stately size.
    And what does man do... new wars, new bombs. learned nothing.

      A large crater that was created by a bombing in WWII.
      On November 26, 1944, planes dropped 52 bombs at this point.


      The place is only a few meters from the main path in the forest.

        Here you can still clearly see the hollow of a bomb.
