Here you often encounter wild boars feeding! Especially at dusk. Be careful when the sows have piglets! They are not to be trifled with.

The witch's house is located in a sunny spot and invites you to take a break. You can sit comfortably on the bench against the hut wall, and there is also a bench opposite.
