The ancient laurel trees of Fanal are a very special highlight. These trees have grown in incredible twists, loops and twists over hundreds of years and are particularly enchanting when the emerging trade wind clouds soften them and wrap them in cotton wool.

It's very mystical when it's foggy, how the laurel trees rise out of the mist. The area is spacious, so many tourists are spread out easily.

Beautiful laurel forest with a mystical atmosphere as soon as some clouds pass through.
