Hiking

The sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), also known as the sweet chestnut, is the only European representative of the chestnut genus (Castanea) from the beech family (Fagaceae). The sweet chestnut is a deciduous tree and produces nut fruits that are rich in starch. In southern and western Europe it is grown for these edible fruits and as a supplier of wood. In the 20th century, the numbers fell sharply due to the chestnut crayfish infestation, but recovered again at the end of the 20th century. The sweet chestnut was voted tree of the year 2018.

There are many sweet chestnuts here. Delicious to eat raw or to puff.
