Highlight • Structure

You can find many wonderful plants here. Don't expect too much, but if you are in this area you should take a look at the small garden.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Currently (November 2023) this route is very overgrown. So if you don't have a problem with big spiders and tall grass, the path is okay... The view at the end is worth it!
