A beautiful, over 300-year-old oak tree 🌳 with a bench underneath. Perfect for a short break during an outing, to have something to eat and enjoy the view. The path that leads past it is a very narrow paved road that is now rarely used.

The cycle path is a gem, well-developed, and a comfortable width for overtaking groups. Fortunately, it's not entirely flat, which makes it more fun.
