This clearing surrounded by fir trees appears in the Winnie the Pooh book as "Galleons Lap" or "the Enchanted Place." Next to it, there is also a trig point.

Contrary to what is often believed, the Heffalump Trap from the Winnie the Pooh books was not located here, but rather near the Six Pine Trees.
This particular tree stands out among the rest and is worth a visit, and it offers very nice views of the surrounding area.
