Attracted by the smell of resin from the oriental sweetgum tree, thousands of butterflies cavort here between June and September. The Russian bear, as the butterflies are called, mates here in the valley, lays its eggs here and is therefore very important for the preservation of its species.

Hiking

To be discovered when the butterflies have hatched or during a heat wave. Do not take the many stairs to climb lightly.
