Easy walk for everyone and where exciting encounters with funny wooden sculptures are guaranteed. The silence and the atmosphere of the forest make it a truly magical place. At the entrance point there is a nice play ground and a wide green space as well as a picnic area with grill facility. There are also parking spaces and a small bar.
