An idyllic spot for a rest in the shade

The church is open from April to October from 9am to 5pm (except on Wednesday). The interior is in the historicist neo-Gothic style that might have appealed to people 125 years ago, but these days...

Lonely path with typical old paving, certainly not pleasant for cyclists, but no problem with good hiking shoes

Within the dry pine forests a beautiful fresh green meadow valley; no wonder it's a nature reserve

This Gerdau church was dedicated to Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often shown - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also a lance. Along with Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel, Michael is one of the four archangels who rank highest (in human conception) in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
