Hiking

Grazing created many open areas here, which are now protected as valuable habitats for rare animal and plant species. Many old pine trees stand – often isolated – on extensive grasslands.

Hiking

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
