Hiking

The best place to view the heath and to take pictures. You will find a lot of blooming purple heather around this place. It's worth it to take pictures here and enjoy the splendor of colors.

Hiking

There are some heathland areas in our region, but hardly any is as big as this. The heath had suffered a lot in recent years. But this year the modest summer has caused a revival. Great paths through great terrain
