Here is a smoother version with a bit more of a story, so that the forest ranger really comes to life when you encounter him during your hike:
The Forest Ranger of the Keigatbos – art with a story
Deep in the Keigatbos, a special forest ranger stands guard. His imposing cloak, long beard, and the small squirrel on his shoulder make him almost like a character from a fairy tale. Yet, this is not an ancient forest legend, but a work of art with a special story.
