A peaceful hike through wooded areas and fields. The paths were well-paved at the time (June 14, 2025).

Mill Anna and the studio are open on weekends, during the week you can look at the outdoor area: sawmill, rock garden with description, old farming equipment, etc.

Unfortunately the church was closed, which was a shame. But we looked at the interesting graves around it and were pleased with the flowers planted on the tower.

The origins of this church date back to the 13th century. An eye-catcher in the middle of the city
