Nice little rest area with a bench to linger on after the steep climb before entering the magical forest.

There's much enchanted to discover in this forest: tree trunks overgrown with lichen and moss, stones, and dead wood. And with a bit of imagination, you can spot a variety of mythical creatures within!

Highlight • Historical Site

It's exciting to be standing right in the middle of the (very old) houses that are described on the information board. Read, watch, read on, repeat :)
