Beautiful idyllic spot which invites the little ones to romp around... and a place for the adults to relax... always under the supervision of the Frog King

Well, that's how it is with the additional highlights... since every hiker thinks of something nice to say about an existing highlight, they should also be allowed to share these thoughts... Others write 6 or 7 comments about a highlight and thus prevent the writing down of impressions from those who were able to explore the hiking destination later... and whether simply inserting Wiki excerpts here makes more sense is another matter... so... freedom of thought...🤭... no offense intended, ok?

There is a lovely barbecue hut on the "Black Sea". The area in front of it is also ideal for a rest break.

At the "Goldborn Natural Spring", clean spring water flows from the forest spring. If you stay three nights of full moon without moving, you can dig up the treasure buried here in a secret place. That's what the legend of the "Goldborn" says. But this place by the water is very beautiful even without the treasure and you should take some time to linger and enjoy.
