The idea of the forest and tree spirits was initiated by the local local history society. At the end of our hike, we met the "Mother of the Tree Spirits," a super-nice lady who has been creating these figures in her free time for many years, helping the trail continue to grow. Awesome dedication!

Magnificent! The view of Lake Plau is expansive, tranquil, and impressive. From the shore, a panorama opens up over the clear, often slightly shimmering water, stretching to the horizon. In good weather, the sky is reflected in the water's surface, while the rolling hills of the lake district can be seen in the distance – a peaceful scene that invites you to take a deep breath.
