We suspect that this forest hut was built by the children of the local forest kindergarten. ☺️ They visit this spot from time to time, and what started out as a small hut has grown into a veritable palace. Inside, a small stone fireplace hides from the curious observer—just for playing, of course. 😄 Feel free to take a look at this wonderful forest hut and be as amazed as we are. 🤗🌳💚
