This beautiful hiking trail used to be an important transport route. Because the path was used by carts and livestock for centuries, it is clearly cut into the earth.

Hiking

In autumn, the fallen leaves collect on this ravine to form a dense carpet of leaves.

Impressively deep ravine. The path must be ancient to dig so deep.
