The mystical laurel forest with the ancient trees is incredibly fascinating. The weather was perfect, fog enveloped us and created the right atmosphere. fantastic.

A very worthwhile tour in the fairy forest. The fog makes everything seem unreal and it's difficult to find your way around. All in all, an exciting tour that provides lots of great pictures and wet clothes.
