Tips from the Community
Perhaps the small botanical problem only exists in the German translation that the komoot system displays via Google, but: The highlight name refers to an "oak," but the text then refers to a "mammoth tree." But aside from this minor linguistic confusion, a beautiful carving can be found at this point in the forest.

Very pretty place, nicely designed. Unfortunately, it's overcrowded with tourists. Perhaps a good stop on a hike.

Superb village, perched 😰, for a bistronomic break and a little digestive stroll before setting off again in the saddle!
