Hiking

In memory of 3 charcoal burners who lost their lives here. Striking intersection in a beautiful, well-preserved forest (lots of coniferous trees)

The square with the three crosses was built on the spot where three charcoal burners died (according to oral tradition, they burned in the forest). Nice rest area in the middle of the forest, right on the hiking/biking trail.
