Not the most decisive name but this is home to Luds Church.
There are some old trees here and it has a very good mystical feel to it.
I had to stop against a few of the older trees to rest my palms and forehead and close my eyes to focus on the sounds around me.
It's a very comforting experience.
Comparable to being enveloped in nature's womb.
