Tips from the Community
A semi-abandoned stone fountain. There were also two water features, later reduced to one, and now that one has also been closed. It's no big deal, as there's another water feature a little further ahead where it intersects with the asphalt road. This site also features the first wooden sculpture, depicting a seated man.
