Some of these hollows are already several hundred years old. For some like this one, you can explore a lot of exciting things on the walls.

A beautiful hollow path leading from the Liliental valley into the forest to the north. Numerous nesting holes can be seen in the loess walls, but I haven't encountered any bee-eaters in the forest.
