Guided Story

Take a deep breath. Can you smell the fresh forest air? It's coming from these ancient trees around you, standing like silent guardians of the valley. As you walk the narrow trails, listen to the gentle murmur of the stream on your right. Ahead, you might catch sight of a deer emerging from the thicket—it's a rare but captivating sight. Look left towards the Mintarder Berg, rising majestically over the valley. Did you know that charcoal burners once used these woods for charcoal production? Today, it's a haven for hikers and nature lovers looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle.
