Only for those who want to do this tour.

The nicely laid out forest nature trail tells a lot of interesting things about the life of nature, such as the trees 🌳🌲, bushes 🌱🌿🍂, …

There is a gigantic baroque cathedral with the largest cantilevered dome north of the …

On the way there you occasionally have a few nice views of the cathedral, once you …
