It's truly beautiful here: Right at the edge of the forest stand a few pines, their long, paired needles rustling in the breeze. A little further back, spruces grow, their sharp needles and drooping cones creating the typical dark, dense coniferous forest. In a lighter corner, you'll find larches, whose soft needles turn golden in the autumn and eventually shed their leaves, giving the forest an almost fairytale-like appearance. Individual firs are scattered among the spruces, recognizable by their softer, flatter needles and upright cones. Where the soil is particularly nutrient-rich, a stately Douglas fir towers, striking with its sturdy trunk and elongated cones. In a wetter depression, hemlocks might thrive, their fine, flat needles creating a delicate, almost floating impression. Perhaps there's even an old yew tree in one corner, whose dark green, dense needles and bright red berries lend the place a mysterious feel.

The view up here is truly stunning – but keep in mind that thunderstorms happen frequently during the summer. So try to be below tree line before afternoon.
