Hiking

In cloudy weather conditions, the fairy forest gets an additional mystical atmosphere that fits here.

Hiking

Be sure to visit these trees, they are scattered loosely across a mountain meadow. Old and venerable. When the clouds pass through, you feel like you've been transported to another place and time.
