It goes through a beautiful beech forest to the Birgelen cemetery

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.
