Tranquil, yes. An ancient pasture, now surrounded by trees once used or charcoal production. On a bike from here, the trail threads its way around the mountain in both directions.

You'll likely have enjoyed a descent to get to it, so if so it's inevitable there'll be some climbing in your near future!

Great wild swimming spot. The path north is a less technical climb out, the path to south is either a fun more technical descent or most likely a hike a bike out.
