    Always beautiful, but particularly beautiful when the heather is in bloom.

      The heath was still in full bloom on September 3rd. The wet August was good for her. In front of the bunker you have a wonderful viewing area of the pink sea of flowers.

        Obviously, the landscape is not the same in December 😁

          A quiet and idyllic side valley that radiates its charm to hikers not only during the heather blossom (August).
