In a few minutes the path is completely invaded by the enormous groves of oaks and shortly after, the group of ancient chestnut trees appears where the monumental chestnut tree of the King's fountain is, 20 meters high, 220 years old and branches everywhere. . The roots emerge between the rocks and the treetops mix with each other forming a comforting forest canopy, which reaches its best moment of admiration in the fall. The King's fountain is next to the road, between some granite rocks.
