The "Forest of Eternity" isn't a poetic name for a hiking area, but rather a burial forest in Gießhübl in the Vienna Woods 🌳🕊️. There, people who wish to be buried in a natural setting can have their ashes placed in a biodegradable urn near the roots of a tree. It's a forest cemetery that combines tranquility, connection to nature, and sustainability.
