In her acceptance speech for this prestigious award in December 2022, French Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux said: “Ever since I learned to read, books have been my companions and reading my natural pastime outside of school. This predilection was fostered by a mother who herself read countless novels between customers in her shop and preferred to see me reading rather than sewing or knitting. The fact that books were expensive and viewed with suspicion at my Catholic school only made them more desirable. Don Quixote, Gulliver's Travels, Jane Eyre, Grimm's and Andersen's Fairy Tales, David Copperfield, Gone with the Wind, and later Les Misérables, The Grapes of Wrath, Nausea, The Stranger: the choice of books I read depended more on chance than on school requirements.”

Yes, it's useful—or, if you prefer that word, practical—to know a hiking parking lot as a starting point for your tour, or to find it here in the komoot system when planning. However, I personally imagine something more beautiful as a true "highlight" that would actually deserve the name, especially since the forest chapel located here, which is worth seeing, is listed as a standalone highlight in the komoot system.
