ドイチュ・カルテンブルンの天然記念物・トップ20

「バラは美しいが、神秘的ではない」と、カレル・チャペック（1890-1938）は『庭師の年』という本の中で書いています。この本で彼は「繊細な皮肉と愛情深い観察で、庭のシーズンの永遠のサイクルを描いています」（出版社による紹介文）。チェコの作家はさらにこう続けています。「神秘的な植物には…知識の木、そして一般的に古代の木々が含まれます（…）。神秘がどこにあるのかは申し上げませんが、神秘はそれを見つけ、謙虚にそれに従うことができるように、単純に認められなければなりません。」この文章は100年以上前のものですが、21世紀を生きる私たち人間も、古代の木々の神秘に畏敬の念と謙虚さをもって向き合うべきです。

A beautiful parish church with an impressive interior. We were a little disappointed by the Lourdes Grotto. It's small compared to the church, located in the backyard—we expected more. But whatever, the church is definitely worth seeing.

Just see for yourself. It's almost impossible to describe. I always enjoy coming here.

If this tree could talk... I would listen for hours. I always enjoy coming back here.

Beautiful ponds. An easy circular trail. However, it's not wheelchair accessible. Accessible with strollers, but not with wheelchairs. Free parking is available.

Hidden behind the Roman Catholic parish church of Unterlamm is a replica of the Grotto of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes. It is a very special place of prayer and unique in Styria.

A really ancient tree. Many branches are overgrown with moss, the trunk has an unusually thick bark. The huge roots are not entirely harmless. Unfortunately, I could not sense any of the strong power of this oak tree, apart from a mystical flair, although I am usually very receptive to such things.
