Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place shaped by ancient seas millions of years ago. The gentle hills and narrow ridges you see are the result of a long history of erosion and geological shifts. Look around and envision this landscape once submerged underwater. To the east, you might spot rare orchids, a hidden gem for botanists. Did you know that the Wöllmisse once served as a refuge for many animals? Listen to the wind rustling through the trees and feel how nature has reclaimed its space over millennia.
