You will find old trees here

An impressive root system emerges between the trees here – a natural work of art revealed by slope erosion. The winding roots cling to the earth as silent witnesses to nature's strength and tenacity.

Each root tells a story of growth, adaptation, and survival. Between the moss and leaves, light plays with the shapes, making the ground itself appear alive.
