Tips
Old cultural landscape. In earlier times, livestock were herded into the woods on hat pastures and looked after. The vet bites of the animals created areas with solitary trees, free of undergrowth

Lonely bench in a beautiful setting that invites you to take a break in a quiet location.

Also highly recommended as a picnic area for families. A nice alternative to the often overcrowded Walberla.
