The well-maintained beach promenade is magnificent and relaxing. A lovely, narrow park stretches between the attractive row of houses and the dunes. There's so much to see that some of the unusual features are almost unnoticeable. And who knows what a witch's broom is? These things are incredibly rare and are usually found on pine trees. The elongated to almost spherical structures are about 2-3 meters tall and develop due to mutations that lead to extreme branching and density. Thus, witch's brooms on pine trees are usually quite opaque and dark green. Anyone who has finally seen one and taken a closer look will have a much better eye for this unusual feature in the future. Then they're sure to discover more soon. And this search can be great fun.
