There are many gnarled, old trees in the entire area, which indeed create a certain atmosphere and if you then look at the last old giant and know the history of it, mysticism is absolutely perfectly embedded in the hike.
It's just fun to move around in the quiet of the forest and stop at one or the other witness of time.
Definitely recommended, especially for hikers interested in Celtic history and myths.

Yes, it is impressive how the trees grow here and go along the roots.
