    It goes through a beautiful beech forest to the Birgelen cemetery

    Translated by Google •

      Right next to Birgelen Cemetery lies an impressive ancient beech forest. The tall, slender trunks and dense canopy give this piece of nature an almost cathedral-like atmosphere. Especially in summer, the canopy forms a green vault beneath which you can stroll in the shade, while in autumn, the ground is covered in a golden-brown carpet of leaves.

      This forest forms a beautiful transition between culture and nature: the serene tranquility of the cemetery blends seamlessly with the silence and grandeur of the beech trees. It is a place that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also invites contemplation and silence.
