    The Galgebossen. Who can imagine that in this area, full of natural beauty and peaceful silence, until the early 1700s, gallows were literally ready for the condemned... In recent centuries, these gallows have fortunately made way for no fewer than 150 different types of plants and 24 types of butterflies. With a bit of luck, a deer, fox or marten will even cross your path during a walk, bike ride or horse ride...
