Unfortunately, the small stream no longer exists... at least not in that form. A wide gravel road now runs there... the idyllic setting is over...

The forest parking lot is like something out of a fairytale. Deep in the forest, beautiful, and absolutely clean. A real insider tip for slowing down from the nearby highway. The speed limit here is "0" 😀
