A hike through the forest, dotted with picnic tables for rest stops and hidden chapels.
Its twenty-metre span, twelve-metre waist and unusual shape make it a very rare specimen. Five trunks grow from a single trunk base, intertwined with a rock. Those who come across this phenomenon in the heart of the national forest wonder which came first, the tree or the rock. If you put your hand in a hole in the trunk, you can feel the rock inside, a curiosity of nature!
The stream brings a welcome coolness in summer.
