The bridge is currently missing. Instead, a plank lies across the stream (actually, more in the stream). It's impossible to cross without getting your feet wet.

The entire village used this oven. It was a living example of village community.

The path to the Meurasteine is currently closed. Surrounding trees and boulders make the trail impassable for inexperienced hikers.
